My husband knows better. Sewing is what keeps me sane and he knows I could be an unpleasant person if I don't sew. I saw some machines here at Goodwill for $39.00. I bought my Janome because my husband was going to buy another truck that we didn't need. He spent $700.00 and so did I. Now our budget is pretty tight so we both have to watch what we spend but he still buys beer so I buy fabric and notions.
