That's a nasty looking one. I hate that sort of surprise. Every now and then a big wolf spider will find it's way into the bathroom. They get up around a 2" legspan and are FAST. It's my job to kill them.
I don't care how good they are at bug control. They can stay outside.
Back to the sewing machines, I really need to start being more selective. That last one was too pretty to pass up and I didn't have a good representative of the style. There are a few more I want to get though.
I want some of the earlier electric designs.
I want a Hamilton Beach motor conversion, brand not important, and at least 1 or 2 examples of early potted motor types. It probably won't happen due to costs but I'd like at least one or two pre-1900 machines from before the modern shape we're used to seeing was settled on. What I'm aiming for is at least one representative of each of the different styles of machine up to now, preferably with some of the cool engineering and designs they've had over the years.
