I guess I just have a "sewing machine fetish"--anywhere I go, I am always looking around for a sewing machine. And most of the time, I'll buy it--even though I don't have room for another sewing machine in my house, nor in my sewing room, and have invaded DH's shop with sewing machines that I have "bought just because it was sitting there looking pitiful". But my most favorite in the whole wide world is my 1986 Elna with the special insignia on it because that is the year that Elna and I were 50.
