    How exciting! It is so addictive! I find the necessities to be a pair of tweezers- makes threading much easier, some little scissor snips for cutting thread - need to be nice and sharp!, oil to keep your machine in tip top shape, Gutermann thread is great - a bit more expensive but worth it. Happy sewing!

    I get guterman thread, it's pretty tough! I need one of those quick unpick thingies and a white pencil for marking fabric...
    I love my machine! It is awesome!

    I called one up and he said to look at it 85 dollars straight away... I think its time for a new one anyways as its been bashed about by removalists too many times unfortunately. Just wondering if anyone has seen them on sale all ive seen is this on
