Right now I have 6 sewing machines, three of them are Berninas. I used to work with a woman who spent $60.00 every two weeks on Vodka, and couldn't figure out why she couldn't afford to do anything or buy things she wanted. All she got out of that was many hangovers. I have a lot of quilts, jackets and numerous other nice things to show for what I've used my machines for. I work, I pay my bills, and I use the rest for what makes me happy. So if I were to see another sewing machine that I thought I couldn't live without, then it would occupy it's own placre in my house right along with the others. Do I ever trade a machine in?? Oh no, once it is adopted, it is family.
