       Re: "New" sewing machine

       I happen to be in the market for a new sewing machine - one of
       mine had the motor burn out and some thread sensors also needed
       replacing - but there is no stock of new thread sensors to
       replace them with.  Rather than pay for a partial repair &
       wonder when the machine was going to quit working again, I
       stripped it of useable accessories and had it recycled...
       I am looking for a new sewing machine and the closest sewing
       machine dealer is a quilt shop less than five miles away that
       sells Brother machines (it's even closer than the closest
       JoAnn's).  Could you tell me the model number (I don't belong to
       a Costco)?  There's a January sale going on at a lot of sewing
       machine places, so I plan to go over there later this week to
       see what they have that I might be interested in.  I have a
       green plush "brushed polyester fleece" that my mother made a
       coat out of in October...and it is my new go-to test fabric to
       see if I can find a machine that will handle it.  I may not make
       anything out of the same fabric, but it would be nice to have a
       machine that would handle the topstitching and make buttonholes
       in that stuff.
