If you find the secret let me know. In the past couple of months I've gotten an four machines from the years 1910, 0922, 1938, 1952, an antique wooden sewing basket and a 1920 to 30's quilt. I told my sister that my addiction was due to me wanting things older than my self so I was no longer the oldest thing in it and they are reminders that getting older can mean getting better. Don't know it that is true but I know that I want at least two more machines; one from the year I was born and a centinial. I tell my self I'll be satisfied but not sure I've convinced my self yet. It doesn't help that now my 5yr old grandson keeps encouraging me to get more. He's my enabler.
