Nice! And I'm sure your new machine cost less than one of his cars, unless he's into REAL fixer uppers!
Meanwhile, I held off... Went to dealer yesterday to buy Heavenly sewing chair. While there, saw a Featherweight with case that I seriously considered. Never wanted one but realized that it could go in a carry on when flying - which neither of my other machines can do. But I left without it. Called 2 hours later; it had been sold. Guess no machine is going to FL with me this year!
Have fun with your new machine.
