I understand completely! I've taken my machine on vacations since I was 15! That's many, many years! Went to Las Vegas on a business trip with my husband several years ago and made him visit the fabric shops! He's a very good sport, so I got to see some great fabric. But every time I looked at the gambling tables and machines, I'd think I could get fabric or just throw this money away! I think all you quilters can guess what my choice was!!
