Go for it. Who knows. You may be quilting for another 20 years. I for one would probably not use it. Just not where my interest lies. That does not mean you should not get one. You are not me, or your friends. Even if you don’t use it as much as you thought you would you will feel good just looking at it an knowing it is available whenever you want to give it a go. Heck, my DH bought a new boat 2 years ago. Due to health issues it has never been out of the garage. But it is nice and shiney and dusted off quite frequently. Makes him happy.
