hey everybody

just found the the site looking forward to making some stuff. i dont do as much backpacking as i used to but still spending a fair amount of time outside. lately been spending time making some cloths (fleece jackets, pants , wool jackets etc.) and breaking sewing machines. usually not a big problem, but yesterday i broke my wife's machine that she asked me not to use for my "projects". Im tired of fighting my old machines need something more reliable. any suggestions? thanks
