Meet Betty, also known as Ugly Betty or Back-burner Betty. She’s a Baby Lock 1506 Denim Buster and the first machine I’d ever owned. I bought her for $40 on Craigslist about a year and a half ago. I’m not sure how old she is but I do know she wasn’t nearly as smooth as the borrowed one I was using before her.

Shortly after I got her, I decided to buy the borrowed one from my friend. This is Wilma. She is my work horse! She’s a Baby Lock Quilters Choice Professional.

She came w/this quilt frame (expands to King Size) and I paid a mere $400. I have awesome friends!

A couple months ago, something happened to Wilma and she was out of commission. This left me no choice but to get intimate w/Betty. I used her until I could afford to get Wilma up & running again. After a new foot pedal and spool pin ordered from My Sewing Machine Parts, Betty wasn’t as bad as I once thought. We spent many hours together and she made me proud. =)
