I upgraded about 6 months ago from my £75 Brother LS14 to a £750 Singer 9800 Quantum and had massive panic attacks about spending that much money! But then I discovered that I loved quilting much more than tailoring and Im so glad I spend the extra money on it as I will never have to upgrade again, as it does everything and more. I would marry that machine if I could! And Im seriously considering selling my creations on Etsy in my spare time, if only to fund my addiction... I mean hobby...
