ROFLMBO!!!!! Okay, some of those stories are simply hilarious! And I think it's comforting that are men are so much alike. :lol:
If he is set on getting you a sewing machine, my suggestion is to involve your hubby in researching/shopping for one. This means he needs to know what type of quilting you enjoy and what techniques you are interesting in learning in the future. You don't want to buy a sewing machine just to have it become obsolete within a year or two because you've outgrown it. He will also need to become aware of just how many different machines are out there and what they do for us quilters. You never know, it may end up becoming something he is interested in. My girlfriend did this and her husband became fascinated with machines and bought himself a treadle machine - which he uses!!!
And if you really don't need another sewing machine but he is set on getting you one, considering getting one that is easily transportable. It is always helpful to have an extra machine to take to classes or retreats, or simply over to a friend's for an afternoon together. There are some decent machines out there that are lightweight and would work great for this purpose. Just a thought.
