Great husband. He is a keeper. My husband bought me a new serger last year for Christmas and I never would have dreamed he would buy something like that for me. Usually we don't exchange gifts. So I was shocked. As long as your machine does what you need that is all that counts. Just because it isn't the most expensive doesn't mean it can't do all you need. I sew everyday and I don't have a really expensive machine but mine does all I need. Free motion is the thing I love the most.
