Callen !Yes!
Last week I received a 401a singer I bid for on Ebay..was so scared I had not been wise ...after 15+ hours of cleaning rust and gunk she sews and I think she is going to prove to be a jewel!! I was looking at another machine (feather weight singer) bids still open..my husband came in and said bid!
I would love to have one of those newer machines!! I have to be careful what I say or he just might spend money we don't have:rolleyes: I am So glad, for a great husband..still I pay the bills so...I am the such a tight-wad when it comes to spending on me!! I know I am "worth it" yet I freak out anyway and usually "tight-wad" wins..

Wonderful, enjoy it!!!

Congratulations and enjoy your new machine!!!

I would say that a Viking will more than enough satisfy your every want, it's a great machine. Sit back and enjoy !

This thread got me thinking. I know I've spent more on hubby's 2 very nice grills than I ever have on all my sewing machines combined (45ish currently and maybe more.) I buy vintage machines. Have only bought 2 brand new ones for about $500 combined and don't have either anymore. I know we've spent more on DH's 2 grills. However, DH is a keeper and doesn't mind my obsession/addiction (much); he would just like me to practice catch and release instead of catch and keep.:D
