I got my new Kenmore sewing machine and wanted to keep it clean so the first thing I sewed is a very simple temporary cover for it .Untill I can get the plastic cover I want for it.I also have to make a cover for my old Kenmore sewing machine that has been serviced and still going after 14 years. That is why I bought another Kenmore from Sears.I like the metal insides and the last so well, and sew so very well.The new one was on sale(thank goodness saved almost 200 dollars on it) and has some new features I really like.So hopefully Im off to good start at getting back to sewing.SMILE
