Well now, here's a "take it with you story". My DH and I lived for 10 years on a 24 ft sailboat. Yep, I had a sewing machine along, a phaff 130 outfited with a hand crank. (dh called me his cranky sweety). When his terminal illness forced us to sell the boat and move ashore I kept the phaff and still have it. Now many years later my best friend/housemate/travel companion and I travel in a 34 ft motor home. Since the phaff weigh at least 1/2 a ton, I now have a light weight Baby Lock as my travel machine. I keep the stash, under the bed, sew on the dinette table, lay out projects on the bed and happily stitch away. We are planning on full timing as soon as the house sells.
Where there's a will, there's a way! Keep on stitching!
