I'm glad I'm not the only one who does things like that. Six weeks ago I walked into the Bernina dealer to buy a $2.00 item and saw a used 440QE calling my name. I've always wanted a Bernina. I certainly didn't need it. We've been struggling financially the last three years and even though it was a good price, it was still a lot of money. I did it anyway. I don't really regret it.
