Miriam, they were probably getting a machine for their significant other that didn't cost $1000 or more. Maybe some were really interested in vintage. More are looking to vintage than in the past, I think.
And it doesn't surprise me that Glenn quilts beautifully. He sure makes those machines pieces of art..... I think an A-type personality.... and I've never met him in person. Being an A-type myself, I can usually identify them.... It's a GOOD THING.
