I agree with quiltinghere...don't be in a hurry to get rid of them. I've done that with other machines I've owned and then wished I'd never gotten rid of them. I use to think that you should only own 1 machine at a time so whenever I'd upgrade I'd get rid of the "old" one. Learned my lesson on that way of thinking, though....I now have 5 machines and would have more if I weren't afraid my DH would have a stroke...LOL
