No good deals at estate sales, yard sales or Goodwill stores. I've checked several, there are a couple of new ones that I pass occassionally, but yuck! Even the new stores smell awful when you walk in the door, and the prices aren't that good.
I'm fortunate to have two mahcines. When my father died, I used part of my inheritance to buy a Bernina 153QE. That was before stitch regulators, has no embroidery or anything like that.
Last year, I bought a used Janome Platinum to take to retreats, classes, guild sew ins, etc.
My envy is around sewing rooms. Our house is small and no room for one. I thought when DD moved out of state, it would happen, but DH wanted it for other things. So my stuff is in the family room and is frequently a mess!
Much as I love my Bernina, I'd happily give it up if I had Dad back.
