tweeting with missalphabet

been tweeting with missalphabet who is a great designer...i love love her goods!!! anyhoo...she mentioned bako and fabric and totally caught my attention...i love bacon and i love fabric. come to find out bako is a nickname for bakersfield. doesn't matter, i am now craving bacon!

i have soo much to do, but oh so little time. i still have to fix my sewing machine. :( i am soo bummed.
today i did check out my singer, juki rep store and saw some nice machines.
drooling over this machine

the owner offered a price of $799, ummm....that is alot for this broke girl. do you have layaway? hehe....
i'd also like to have this, janome 1600p-qc but can not seem to find a price for this in the U.S.

bernette 82e ($399)

OK enough geekery...i thought i would post these for my comparison shopping when I am ready to buy a new machine...
