there is always room for one more. this one is a beauty.

I would buy it. It is beautiful and you know that you will regret it if you pass it by. Who knows when you will move and need to downsize and if you do you can always cover the top with a ironing or a cutting surface. If you have to get rid of it later you know some one will always be looking for one.

I would love to get a chance to get one! So many say pass, but such a beautiful machine!

I'd go for it

lol well marriages are important :) no not to a red eye :)

If you really want it replace ii for some that you already have. Remember your downsizing!

Don't think about it too long...someone else will jump on that deal. Bake him a cake or let him stew. He will never get that old or look that good.....

In this case, it may not be so much the machine as that absolutely wonderful cabinet. I would buy it for the cabinet, if the price is OK. then sell the red eye & put in
one of your other machines. I still regret the perfect lotus decal treadle I did not buy because I thought I had too many
machines.

Yes, how much if its reasonable go for it. I think of things I passed on and keep kicking myself still. Do you have a friend who could give her a good home?

You are not alone in this! I really want a treadle in the worst way but DH feels that we have no room and also I don't need another machine due to the fact I have 9 already. What to do is right!!! Other factors involved in his feelings are no way to get it here, too much money, to heavy for him to lift, etc....

Don't most DHs tell us we don't need "it" sometime or another but know deep down that we will go ahead and get it? I say go for it. He loves you, he understands your passion, he will get over it :)

I myself am craving a treadle! Not to mention it will be number 6!

OH I would purchase it in a heartbeat---love those parlor cabinets.

Oh I went and sewn something alright! I put binding on a baby quilt, made 2 doll quilts, and a table runner.

All I could do was think about it and I may have talked myself back into it! Yikes, I don't have this much problem buying a car!

:)

I would have to pass right now because we are trying to get out of debt. In the long run the choice is yours.

I have the identical looking machine and cabinet and don't know what to do with it.

I have 9 machines and I have to stop my husband from looking at more.....he is the one who buys them for me! What a guy!

Well, what other type of sewing machine do you have. Is this "more beautiful" or "older" or does it give you pleasure just to look at it? It is a beautiful design. I would say pass, but only you know what other machines you already own and this one may just add a special joy. Keep us posted on what you decided.

Go for it, if you can afford it. Would love to have one of those cabinets. Yes, I too have too many, but love them so. We are going through each one and cleaning and refinishing, if needed. They are so pretty and useful when the electricity goes out. Just my 2 cents worth.

I would buy it...my 11 others need a red-headed sister :-D

Pass!

I BOUGHT IT! Haven't got it yet, they are going to deliver. I just couldn't resist. DH shakes his head but that is the way the cookie crumbles!!!!!!!!!!! YIppee!!!!

Good for you!
Congrats; I know it was a hard decision.

You won't regret it---even if the machine isn't in good shape--the cabinet looks great---you can always put another head in the cabinet. I had one a few years back. Had to sell it as we needed the money. I know you will enjoy it.

don't pass it up! i regret selling my mom's machines at an estate sale years ago. if push comes to shove, you casn always sell one. as for the dh being upset - how many books, tools, widgets does he buy bwcause he needs "just one more"?

go for it!!

tx_gmimi

that is quite the problem to have. I bet a lot of ladies wouldn't mind :)

This is me too, many times I've passed on somthing, then kicked myself. The opportunity may never present it's self again......

Once it arrives, please show us your new acquisition. Happy for you!

When I really want something badly I buy it. Otherwise I will most likely spend the money on something less desirable. I don't buy things that often. Enjoy your purchase. I would personally start selling off some of the other sewing machines and any thing else I could to downsize.

Yes, this!

For $60 get it. Just make sure it is out of DH's way.

Pass!!

One think to consider is 66s are very common. Let this one pass.
