Trying to weight my options for sewing.
I have an older Brother VX757 sewing machine, tried to use it a few years ago to sew ripstop nylon for my kids Model Rocket parachutes, I could never get it to work. My mother got it up and running for me, but "I" could never get it to work for me. Heck it took me an hour to "thread it".

So is there any "new" machines that would be better than the Brother VX757for sewing nylon ?

Thanks,
