Having finally finished the complete cleaning and reorganization of my sewing room–HURRAH!!!–, I am now ready to tackle the disposal of some of my mother’s sewing equipment. She loved to sew, but these items have seen very little use in the past several years. All were well loved and well maintained.
This was my mother’s Brother 8200 Pacesetter embroider/sewing combo machine. This was Brother’s top-of-the-line for some time, followed by the 8500 which is essentially the same machine but with a knee lift. The 8200/8500 is widely acknowledge as an easy to use work horse for both sewing and embroidery. It has few maintenance problems and is extremely user friendly. It’s heirloom stitches–pin stitch and entredeux– are perfect. It’s a great machine, recently serviced by a Brother authorized dealer.
