Kittywolf,
That twisted logic works for me! TOGAs are dangerous. lol The last one I went to I only bought one machine, a 1916 Singer 66-1 red eye, but I'd planned on that one before I left home. Her name is Ruth and lives in the franken treadle cabinet; it has a Singer top and Elgin irons. Sews very smooth and quietly.
I did get rid of a 66-18 and its cabinet, someone won it in the raffle. Dh was happy about that.
