:-D Today, while doing some research on a few vintage sewing machines, I ran across Mr. Ed Lamoureux's blog

Scroll down to "Sometimes You Gotta Let Go!"
What stage of vintage sewing machine collecting are you in?
Personally, I seem to be past Stage 4 but not quite to Stage 5. Oh, BTW, I haven't sold my 2004 Bernina Artista Computerized Embroidery machine and haven't even thought of doing such a thing. It was a very sweet gift from my DH and it actually began launching me into Vintage Machine Collecting.... which has brought my DH and me a lot of fun. :-D :-D :-D
