He he and his wife (a quilter) have it out on display ALL the time. I love to see it.
i think all the time about getting my own, but I'm afraid it would not be used. I have a Janome 7700 and 3160 for class. I need some help on how I can justify it.
Do you need to justify it? Here goes...
1....it is like having a beautiful painting on your wall...you don't have to use it...just admire the beauty of it...
2....it is like your fabric stash....do you need all that fabric...and will you use it all?...but isn't it nice it have???
3...You are worth it...treat yourself...
4...you can always sell it and you won't lose $$$
5...you only live once...
I have seven 221 featherweights...one 222 featherweight from England...one 99k...two 301 Singers and other old machines...I love them..don't really use them much...take the 222 to classes...and the others are on display...
