He wasn't too thrilled when the 4th one came in and keeps giving me grief for it. :/
My husband gives me grief whenever I buy another vintage machine...but has it stopped me? NO!!! Keep the machine. I'm sure somewhere down the road you'll wish you would have...especially since it's more involved than your other machines. I think I'm up to about 12 machines? wish I could afford one of the new Berninas. not the 830. I'm sure I'd never learn all there is to on it. My choice was the 440QE but it's not made any longer. I should have bit the bullet and bought one when I could!!
