I must have my dh read this post as he thinks I have enough machines with 3 Regular machines, a Babylock Serger & a Janome embroidery only machine + several vintage machines. I don't do shoes, so for me, this is the next best thing !!! lol Honestly though, he really supports my hobby & is even very helpful & good at woodcrafting me cabinets etc. that helps make my life easier, so I am very grateful.
