This is what happened to me when I was looking for a quilting and embroidery machine. He drove me to many shops and retailers. Ended up with the Babylock Ellegante (display model) as he was into the demonstration and didn't want to leave without it. He really does enjoy the fact I enjoy what I am doing with it. I have given my older machines to my children, and now would love a heavy duty long throat just for FMQ and jean repairs and leave the Babylock to the embroidery, clothing, and piecing. DH has no problem me spending the money-he knows I wouldnt get what I didnt need. Okaayyyy....
