I get paid on the first and hopefully it's still there. I might just buy it. But, I already have three machines, so I don't need it and I'm trying not to buy things because I drool over them. But we'll see what my brain says to me on the first.
A few months back, I got caught with that same bug. I had inherited some Elna cams for the extra stitches, so I became consumed with find an Elna that could use them -- for a good price, of course. I finally found one that works well for $40, and you know...I haven't used it at all. I didn't invest a lot, and could probably get my money back out of it, but if I already had three machines, I'd hold off. I don't like the guilt I feel when I look at it...
