My family purchase a new sewing machine for me. Before I break it out of the box I need to make sure it has the features I desire. I have been using a Singer 401 for well over 40 years. Definitely needed a new machine. The macine my family purchased for me is a Kenmore 19233. Anybody out there have any thoughts about this new machine or suggestion on the kind of machine i should be considering.

15 needle postions
your going to have fun with that so what are you planing to make your first project
Wow! Sounds like lots of fun! Make sure you read the instruction book, and since it is electronic, treat it like a computer (unplug it from the wall if a thunder storm comes near!)

Becky.....I am considering upgrading to the next level of machine because of several key factors. My main concern is that the Kenmore is a good product and my family spent their money for the right machine. Last night I spent hours researcing the informatin. But I am not at the point where I need just good honest opinions from experienced sewers. The Kenmore has a 90 warranty on parts. I need to compare that to other manufacturers. These new machines are so different. They don't intimidate me, just want to make sure I have a good maching for 300 to 500 dollars.
thanks for you opinion.
Becky
