I have one machine and it is my Bernina 230PE that my DH bought me when my other machine died in August. It's not my "dream machine" but it is better than the machine I had. If it hadn't been for some money DH received when his father passed away that we only used for "special" purchases, I would not have the Bernina. I would however have gotten a cheaper machine from Walmart though. And after I was in DH barn this weekend and noticed he had 5 routers, I told him if I ever buy another sewing machine I didn't want to hear a word. He tried to tell me they do different things and I told him that sewing machines do different things too.
Butterfly Quilter: I like the underwear thing that was suggested. But I also like that his clothes might need to be mended to. Maybe you could take up hand quilting and make him a quilt out of his clothes one piece at a time. When he says...honey, have you seen my ____, you can say no sure haven't and just snicker to yourself. hehehe
