Actually- it would probably sit here for ages. I just got the courage to use my machine I bought in '06 from Ebay. It's an embriodery one with lots of fancy stitches. I worried I would do something to it, so it sat for 2 years. Now I'm game to actually put on the embriodery unit and try something.
I also bought a handiquilter frame 2 months ago, waiting for some space in the living room- still waiting....... No one wants to take their stuff when they move out.
