I feel your pain....I am in same situation with a singer vintage 301a.. I'm supposed to go look at it tomorrow...and I'm so torn....she wants 180 for it and it's 90 miles from me......I don't know what to do either....My computer machines are messing up all the time and I'm tired of the $$$ it cost to have them fixed......

I guess your right, it is catching my heart! I love old things, they have such history!I got til morning to tell her if I don't want it! I just feel it is a once in a great opportunity. I could certainly forget a FW for this one!

And I, for one, am glad you did!! LOL

Is it worth whatever tension/bad feelings it makes between you and DH???? That's what I would have to ask myself.

I love the vintage machines! The 301 is a great machine, I have two, I should sell one but.. I only paid $30 for each of mine. I think if you look around you might find something at a better price. If your willing to wait that is! Great machines and portable!!!

What is more important to you- your relationship with DH, or the sewing machine? Sorry, I'd have to say pass- UNLESS you two can discuss it and come to an arrangement that you can both be happy with, such as you selling other machine(s). The people you're spending your life with are more important than the stuff. But if you pass, or make a deal to get rid of another, don't do it resentfully! That's just as harmful for your relationship as if you went ahead and bought it. There, now you have my two cents. ;-)

Oh, he is used to me doing stuff I like, he doesn't always like it! I am the free spirit! I am living once, so I gotta go for the gusto in life! He can sell it or junk it when I am gone
