Yes, I'd get another machine for your husband. My husband talks about sewing but so far it hasn't happened. I understand that about someone not wanting you to do quilting. My husband knows I enjoy it but says "what are you going to do with it? Do you want to sell it?" I tell him it's my hobby and my enjoyment no matter what I do with the quilts or gifts I make. Too bad people try to manipulate and control others. Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat.
