I had a similar experience one day with my husband. I was watching one of F&P's shows on TV and they were using a beautiful longarm. My husband happened to be close by and saw what they were doing and said "Hey, why don't you get one of those sewing machines!" I then told him the price range for any longarm and said an estimate of the high end one they were using. He got this "are you kidding" look on his face and walked away. That was about 3 years ago and not another word from him about getting one!!
