Hello Ruth!

    This is from a 'warehouse' type store.  Hmm...maybe I'll have to make it 
there. :)
 RH> Never heard of Priced Right.  It's probably about like the others.  Do
    I'm just a little leary.  I don't usually use the 'off-brands' becuase 
I've had problems with breakage.

    Shoot..I was there last night and forgot completely about it.  :(

    That meakes me leary as well.  That's why I was  alittle leary of the cup 
hook thing as well.
 RH> What kind of machines do you have?
    I have a newer brother, and an older Kenmore.  I was having terrible 
problems with the Kenmore's tension and thee bobbin/underside jamming up, and 
had just gotten a bonus at work, so my husband told me to go get a new 
machine!
 RH> space constraints to deal with.  I know my old Singer Futura 2 made

    Now some miracle happened and the Kenmore works wonderful again!  I much 
prefer the Kenmore for more heavy duty projects, (and buttonholes)

    No I haven't.  It's a thought though.  Thanks!
