I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Sewing machine to take to class???????
Please help! I have a Viking D1 which I use ALL THE TIME and love, but hauling it to class is about to put me in the grave! It's so heavy! I also have my Mom's original Featherweight which is in great working order, clean, new belt and ready to go. However, I just can't get used to it after the D1.
I'm considering buying a compterized light weight machine to take to class (ps - I'm a classaholic!). I like the needle down position. Can you smart gals make a recommendation for me? Are there any places that discount these machines?? This has probably been asked me before, but I'm a newbie! TIA!!Lyndhurst, Ohio USA - East Side Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio

It is a greate ide to buy a sewing machine to take to classes or guildmeetings. I did just that last year. My "little" machine is the same brand as the big one but I can use all the feets on both. Viking may have the same option too. The little Jem was stange to sew on at first, but then again I do only piecing on it. The Big one is set up for free motion most of the time. I just love to have the option to go do some piecing if I get tired of free motion :wink: ...and I am always able to work on several projects without doing all the changes as you would having one machine :lol:
Now...You need to keep us posted so we can celebrate the new sewing machine with you!Lyndhurst, Ohio USA - East Side Suburb of Cleveland, Ohio

I have a Husqvarna machine that I mainly use at home, and a pretty old Frister and Rossman Cub4 that I take to class. If I ever have to replace the Cub4 I would try to find a suitable machine that uses the same bobbins as my Husqvarna. It's a little annoying to have to deal with two types of bobbins.

I have a Brother PE 400D that I got several years ago to take to classes and travel with. It is small and easy to carry. It's actually a sewing/embroidery combo and will embroider in a 4x4 hoop. Brother had discontinued this model, but in the past year came out with an updated version, NV900D. I have heard very positive comments about this machine from people who have it.
