I'm telling you, I started last year and I now have 12 old Vintage and Antique machines. It is very addictive. The oldest one is 104 years old. It is a Singer model 27 treadle. It sews like a charm. I had one other one and I sold it. With the 12 old ones and my 4 embroidery machines I have a house full. I would still like to have a featherweight. That might be the last, did I say last one, lol...They just seem to find me now. Good luck on your addiction, it sounds like you husband is also addicted. Joy
