My neighbor heard that I was interested in old sewing machines. She said her aunt had one did not know what kind. Later she called and said that it was "just an old singer table top model". I told her to find out more, I'm hoping it is an old feather weight and she doesn't want too much. My husband said you have 2 sewing machines now why do you need another one? Bless his heart he just doesn't understand.

Men! Hope it turns out be be awesome! congratulations
|
LOL..had to laugh..when we moved to our Condo..my hubby(who has always supported my quilting) helped the day the sewing room was being loaded..he said you have enough fabric to make 50 quilts and why do you have 3 sewing machines..I said there are 6 and that's my stash !!! The look on his face was priceless !!
|
I am lucky hubby let me get a new one last year. It was my second machine ever. Now he doesn't know I have a treadle hidden in the basement yet. hehe. just remember what they don't know is good for you. hehe
|
Awesome, I can't wait to hear what type of sewing machine it is

They just don't get it. But most of them have more than one tool or golf club or camera or whatever. Hope it's a FW.
|
Hope it's what u want! DH wants me to kee
All the machines and I keep saying y!!! |
Does he have more than 2 fishing poles, guns, cars, golf clubs, or whatever? We can enjoy our hobbies too.
|
OH, I hope it's one too!! :)
|
Men are like boys; you have to get on thier level. I tell mine why do you need another gun each year; you can only shoot one at a time. He shuts up and realizes he's fighting a losing battle.

Ha! Wait until mine gets back from Africa to find a quilt frame in the living room!
|
I have 3 machines right now... And I used that argument about the right tool... I can't tell you how many times my husband has quoted..."See how well the job goes when you have the right tools?"
Man - I love throwing that back at him. :) |
Awesome

mine just shakes his head-he has multiple toys also
|
Bless his heart covers everything.
|
Good for you, hope it's a reasonably priced Featherweight. Please let us know how it turns out.
|
Bless his heart is right!!
|
Best thing to do is not have a husband. I have a live in boyfriend for 28yrs. No strings attached. We both do what ever we want. So I have 11+ sewing machines.

I hope it is a featherweight too. Please let us know and post pics. As for Husbands---thanks to everyone for the responses---I never would have thought of some of them, but they are so very true. Mine is golf clubs, and video games.
I especially like the "right tool" Thanks ladies. Hey Jim, you are different, you are one of us remember? |

I am at 6 and looking at buying another :)
|
How many tools has he?
|
My husband is wonderful! He buys my machines, he came home with a Bernina 630 a few years ago, and then an 830 when we went to a quilt show. I have 2 featherweights if anyone is interested.
|
When my DH starts with those silly statements, I just ask him how many tools he has and why would he want more????
|
People who sit their machines in cupboards for 99% of the time don't understand either...
|
Oh! I do hope it is a FW. My family got me a FW for my birthday and I was overwhelmed. They also got me a treadle machine which I just love to use. It quilts so nice. I hope so much that the machine will be a FW. God bless you.
|
A while back I had the opportunity to add to my"collection" with another treadle that someone was going to give me, I asked my husband if he thought we had enough room for it and he said and I quote "do you want the real answer or the husband answer?" I said both. The first thing he said was "we would be crazy not to take it." (that was the real answer) and then he said "Anything you want dear" (that was the husband answer). That machine made number 11 for me including another treadle, a featherweight, one from the 50's in a cabinet, a mid arm with 10' frame,2 sergers, 2 embroidery machines, the first machine I ever bought that is now a boat anchor as it was caught in a flood and does not work, and the first new machine I ever bought when the boat anchor could no longer do its job. And yes technically they all work or have a job including the boat anchor, when not a boat anchor it is a door stop, or paper weight, or fabric weight, whatever job it needs to do at the time.
|
I told my husband that when I set up shop I have to have more than one machine set up and started explaining the use of each one. He stared at me like I was speaking in another language. I already own the machines and he keeps asking how many I have and why but he still doesn't get it. He really doesn't know how many I own.

I use 4 machines, the last one I bought (for me) was my FW earlier this year, and Sunday bought a FW for DH.
|
My DH has become addicted to trying to find Featherweights at antique stores and yard sales. He's now worse then I am.
|
my hubby is the greatest...at the moment i am 'reorganizing' my stash, and i have piles everywhere in the house, mainly in the living room, and he just walks around the piles and smiles...and asks 'when will my quilt be done"!!!! he is so cute
|
LOL, isn't that the way it is when someone does not have the same passion. I have 2 machines and an 18 inch longarm with 14 foot bed. My DH does understand my passion and built a studio for me to work in. Then again I never say anything about all his new guns (several a year), or any of his wood shop equipment. I have my eye on an embroidery machine, maybe someday. Even if that machine is not a feather weight, get it, those old singers are great to have and to look at.
