My new machine



This is my new sewing machine. A mother's day gift that comes early. My old 2nd machine decided to retire just in time b4 mother's day so it helped hubby the perfect gift for mother's day.
It's a Husqvarna Emerald 122. Comes with extra feature of needle up/down when u stop sewing as well as a speed control. Find the speed control function very useful when i need to sew slowly ie. sewing velcro and turning corners. Another useful feature is the overcast stitch which is great for sewing the edges of nylon fabric or fabric that tends to fray. U see i dont have an overlocker so i find this stitch very useful. It also has a button stitch that comes with a foot that automatically measure how big u need to sew the button hole and does it for u. But i have a snap machine on it's way so why sew buttons hehe.
It's still too early to tell the durability and performance or other features that i am yet to learn and find out. But i'll write more review in a few months or years time :)
