I have a nice sized lump there, but luckily it didn't fall on me and break my neck or anything!! Then in the van--I was trying to push it over to the side so I could load other stuff--and he gave a gigantic shove, right into my foot. I put my life at risk every time I move something with DH, even though we've been doing this for years!!

I never take an electric machine (even though I have many) because I simply don't like using them any more. I need to sew on some of mine this winter; we'll see if I change my mind. BTW, I do still have one FW, but it has never been cleaned up. It's coming, though!!
