I'm happy for anybody who posts about how much they love their machine, no matter how expensive or inexpensive it is! It's just thrilling to really "bond" with a machine and I love seeing people excited about theirs. And I also commisserate with the people who post about what a nightmare their machine is... 'cause I've been there! I've never had a husband but I imagine finding a good machine that you can fall in love with is the same concept. Guess that's why some people hold onto one forever and others trade up every few years!! LOL.
