Well, corporate America is experiencing a major turnaround. The American economy is riding a roller coaster while American workers are suffering without knowing what hit them.

I might lose my job any day now and American people have right to know what is going on. This is just a small piece of puzzle, but it's my personal experience. It's a piece of puzzle that may answer many questions to those in doubt.

For those that sew for a living, I would recommend Brother industrial sewing machine series. These machines are specially designed to withstand abuse of constant use. Most of these machines are major investments, so research your make and model thoroughly to ensure satisfaction.

No matter what you purpose and budget, you should have no trouble finding a Brother sewing machine to fit your needs. Remember to ask a lot of questions and find a dealer that will be there for you after sale. If you have friends or family members that sew, ask them where they purchased their machines, which is best way to find a good shop.
