This is why I don’t tend to buy stuff from Sears if I can help it.

I’ll do that. Many things are the better for relaxing, but sewing machine tension is not among them. Kerry, thank you; I’m going to be looking at the H-V machines either tomorrow or Monday.

Joan is also shopping for a new machine, as the tensioning mechanism on hers has permanently relaxed. You might compare notes.

I got a Husqvarna Viking for Chanukah in 2006. I like it a lot, but don’t use it enough to tell you if you would like it. One note of warning… They say that you can trade it in within the first year for an upgrade, applying your sales price to the new one. When the embroidery version went on sale, I decided to upgrade. So I went to the store that sold the machine to me and asked what my final price would be on the new machine. The salesperson (the same one who sold me the machine) said, “well, you’ve had your machine for six months now, so we depreciate it to half of your purchase price and apply that amount to the new machine”. Silly me. I thought that when they said that they apply “the sales price” to the new machine for the first year, that meant the entire sales price. I did not get the embroidery machine, which is just as well, as I don’t know that I would have used that feature that much, anyway.

I hope all is well with you and J. and W.

Take care.

Love,
Kerry
