Hi,
I don't know what the fuss is, but I do not think having several sewing machines is a bad thing. I wish I did. I only have my Pfaff 1473 CD now. I lost my old machines in fires, and other mishaps. I love the old machines -- i.e., like the old black Singers -- It is what I learned to sew on. I am now retired, and getting back to sewing, quilting, cross stitch, etc. I will love to have one of the old singers, or one of those beautiful little portables. Or even a serger. Never had one of those. Old is good when it comes to sewing machines.
