Margo

Margo is a Brother XL 5500 Special Edition, and she was my very first electric sewing machine. Sixteen years ago, my family pooled their resources to surprise me with this beautiful machine. Although it would be a few more years before I truly learned to use her properly, she was waiting patiently for me to grow into the sewist I hoped to become.

After countless projects, experiments, successes, and the occasional sewing mishap, Margo is showing her age. In fact, I used her so much that a local repair specialist had to file down the feed dogs after I wore them almost smooth! That's a testament to just how hard she's worked over the years.

I could never bring myself to part with her. These days, she serves as my trusted standby machine, always ready to step in when needed. More than just a sewing machine, Margo has been my teacher, my workshop companion, and the faithful partner that helped me learn, explore, and build my confidence at the sewing table.

Every scratch and worn part tells a story, and she's earned every one of them.
