I'm in Ireland- West Coast & struggling to find any in my price range/ good make.....

Found Bernette's but got told not worth it- found one Husky 122, but no for company not working anymore... Ah it's all fun!!! :giggle:

Ems could you point me in the right direction?

Thinking of a better machine and there are some things I would like; interlockstitch because I really miss that on my own machine and what seems handy is a rufflerfoot. For the rest I don't have much to spend so nothing to expensive but would like it to last long so not to cheap either I guess.

I'll go have a looksy :)

Most machines these days will have the interolocking stitch, gathering feet usually come in two types on more expensive machines, I have both bernina one's the gathering foot was £20 and the ruffler at £62.

If your looking at things like that, I think you'd be best to go with a bernina, the interlock stitch on mine is just perfect, no matter if its decorative on leather or just for strength on bags etc. I know I'm very bias, but they are definetly worth it.

What machine do you use atm?
