I laughed out loud when I started reading this! I bought a featherweight this past week...because my husband enjoys going to each and every football game there is during football season. I told him I knew I already have 3 other machines, that I use, but I NEEDED this one because she was so cute and because I have been wanting one AND because I just needed it to keep me happy while he was out being happy at the football games. I never complain about his games. I actually enjoy the quiet Friday nights. It's extra quilting time for me, but it sure made me come up with a really good excuse for purchasing something I didn't really need, but then I really DID NEED it... It had this uncanny pull on me!
