I think it would be cruel to separate them at this point. And they do look sooo cute together!

And this would be my number 1 reason. I am retired, and there are very few days when my machine isn't in operation for several hours. If one of mine is on the blink and in the shop, there's another one. I even have a third very inexpensive one I carry around when we group sew. For me, this is a very practical reason to have more than one machine.

Plus, I've seen all kinds of other good practical reasons here, too - piecing on one, other sewing on another; various stitches or setups being used alternately, etc ....

Love my machines!!! And I know you do, too!!!

I'm also surprised at how much the prices have increased for this machine, especially on eBay, where I have seen them actually sold (by checking the completed auctions) for around $1,000. I imagine it's because they were only produced in 2012, for Singer's anniversary, and supposedly there were a limited number of them made. The money factor is tempting (because I paid under $400 for the machine when I bought it), but I'm not going to let her go!

TO......DONNAC.....

I noticed on Amazon for a while that they priced at $2000.00 for the new ones ......and the last time I looked they were at $599.00. I bought mine and paid $199.00........omg, what a buy........and she's so pretty at that.
Makes it even a better buy. Thanks for the input......I will begin to enjoy mine also......
