Some people, who have more room than I have, like to collect sewing machines. Even if I had more room, I wouldn't want more sewing machines. My thing seems to be pin cushions. Fortunately, I have a dog who steals them and chews them up, leaving their remains in the grass in the backyard. I've had to take him to get his belly xrayed once because I was afraid he might have swallowed a needle. Now, I'm more careful about leaving any pincushion except the one I am using within his reach. Maybe I ought to switch to sewing machines. He probably couldn't steal those!
