I have 3 machines 2 work one doesn't I keep thinking about an embroidery machine but just cant justify buying one. I have congestive heart failure one ususally only lives 5 years with this condition my 5 years were up 6 months ago. I thank god everyday for the extra time he has given me but again can't justify spending that kind of money when I know I probably won't be around to use it and none of my kids sew
