Yes Callen. Oh, do I know the addiction. I would rather have sewing machines than chocolates. I started collecting when I cleaned out my mother's storage unit last summer and found two vintage machines. One was a 1939 Kenmore 117-551 and the other was a 1950s Universal Japanese clone. I am now up to 30 vintage machines of all makes and models. Just a hint though, I do find that the portable or table models are easy to conceal in the closets. DH regards my collecting with a jaundiced eye. But I REMIND him that I have spent a WHOLE lot less money on my machines than he has spend on his BOAT and FISHING. Right now I am using my Japanese Coronado to piece on while my Elna is in for servicing.
