I'm happy with the machines I have for now. Emphasis on the 'for now.' I could really use a good strong zz, I have an attachment for it but their abilities are limited. What I ~want~ is a big ol' boot patcher with stand. I had an opportunity about 18 months ago to buy one for $100 and I very, very foolishly turned him down because money was a little tight. Ugh. Silly Dragon. Even my boyfriend, who only kinda likes my other machines, would have loved it! Ah well. Live and learn. Money's a little tight again but I snapped up an $85 Two Spool. *insert happy-slightly-irresponsible-face here* As an adult I am fully qualified to make my own dubious decisions.
