The lady in the sewing machine shop demonstrated a couple of $3-4,000 machined to my husband and I one day and I was drooling and trying to justify doing financing to have one of those machines. Shortly after I brought up my great grandmother's old machines that I had in my basement for years and got them cleaned up and running and now I'm hooked on the old machines and their perfect stitches and I'm convinced that I wouldn't enjoy sewing as much on a machine that does so much for you, as opposed to doing it myself. There is something very special about sewing on my great grandmother's machines that adds to the enjoyment too.
