But I do think that if you connect your worth to the price of a sewing machine, that's a connection that will bring you little but sorrow.

They are cheaper now than when I bought mine 18 months ago - but - I still feel it was worth the price. I have sewed and sewed and sewed (at least 50 tops for Linus Connection) and haven't had any trouble at all. I know nothing about machines but was told by a few people that it is the best so I just did it. After my husband kept up-grading our computer I figured a new machine was an okay choice for me. YOU WILL LOVE IT!

When you spread the cost over the years I'm going to use it... It really only costs about XXX. I just have to pay it all up front.

It might be a fair comparison with the cost of his hobby? Does he have one that you can fairly compare?
PS: I have to pay nearly that much just for the repairs on my machine that died, so hope you are successful.

When women buy sewing machines they need to shop like a man! Men choose their toys without hesitation...they buy what they want without rationalizing, justifying or agonizing...they recognize the importance of having the right tools and toys..they buy the best with little consideration as to how often they will use their purchases or how it might impact the family budget. This sewing machine will be your toy...it is an entertainment center and a stress buster...Think of all the positive reasons you want and need this machine...you are a worthy person with creativity, talents and skills. All this will be enhanced with a new sewing machine!!! Your pleasure in a good machine and the wonderful creations you produce with affect your self-esteem...You deserve not only a good machine but all the other equipment and notions. Just as we update vehicles, we who love to sew owe it to ourselves to experience the amazing features of the new sewing machines. YOU GO FOR IT GIRL! This information is from an article that I found in a magazine many years ago...The Creative Machine Newsletter and I have followed their advice to the letter for many years...I am on my 4th Bernina and frquently check their website to find out what's coming out next!!

I took my hubby to the demo of the machine with me. He say everything it did and matter of fact told me to get the Bernina 830E rather than a lower machine. I about fell of the chair.
I told him to come with me and give his input. It was a mojor decision and I just wanted is SUGGESTIONS.
