Each one of us is getting older everyday, statement. Would the machine be an advantage in the future .? At present yo are able to find classes and I prove your skill. Is a second hand one what you want or would you prefer new. If I was offered I personally would say yes but let's look for a new machine as I feel I would love to use it and have a wonderful time. Making money on it. No way I keep my quilts I would hate to sell them but at 20 I loved to wear a mini skirt now I prefer a skirt to my ankles.we change our thinking as time goes by. I also think if pushing and pulling on a small domestic machine will it be too much in 10 -20 years.
