I agree that if possible, you should keep your older machine. Two wonderful machines to have! Congratus!

congrats :!:

Congratz on the great deal! Hopefully, you find a new home for your "old" one soon if it has to go. :)

I agree, too many times, I hear people say "I wished I have kept my old machine" and how much they loved it and miss it!

Been there myself. Took Pfaff in for free annual maintenance check up and upgraded to newer machine, twice. Newest Pfaff has 5 yr. warranty so I have a few more years before the free maintenance checkup is about to expire. Can't complain new machine works great and dealer also threw in a little Gem Gold that I take to classes and workshops.

My dad always said "if you look, you buy". I have found that to be true with me. Which is why I have to stay off the antique section of our local online classifieds and stay away from the fabric sales. I am happy you went ahead and got what you wanted. I'm sure you will really enjoy those added features.

I think sewing machines are a lot like cars, buy used and save the difference. Older machines were better made than the new ones and someone else has fixed all those things that could go wrong with a fresh out of the box. Take your time and buy from someone reputable. Use it first to make sure you like it.

It was meant to be. What a great buy. Have fun with your new toy.

I concur if possible keep both! One machine I have reg foot, one I have walking foot on and the other has quilting foot!
