Somewhere along the line, you'll wish you had it handy.
I so agree with this. I gave a wonderful straight-sew machine away, and also sold a Viking, and I have so many times wished I had kept those machines! I had just purchased my first combo embroidery machine, a Babylock Esante, some 10 years ago, and while I love Babylock machines and have upgraded from the Esante since then, , my thought was "Who needs more than one machine?" Silly me!
