I dont have to sneak anything in, but I would have some explaining to do if I bought home another machine. With him being a sewing machine technician, he knows which are good or not. I dont.
He did get me a Elna Lotus a few years ago and I have not used it yet. (I can hear the Aussies groaning :)) I just stick to my Vikings for everything. However if and when I retire and I get to go to quilting days, I will dust off the Lotus then.

I have to sneak in (and hide well!) anything that I want to make for HIM. Otherwise, it's open-book. I just hate to spoil the surprise. Plus he spends waaaaay more on his cars so what do I really have to be sneaky about?

I have no problem with all my quilting stuff. DH is an enabaler in that he goes with me, encouages me to buy what ever I want and asks me "is that all you want" he is a keeper. I do not have a lot of fabric cause I learned over the years there is always new fabric lines coming out and I want the newest. I also have three Janome's, my lastest being the 10001 and I love them all.

He knows how impulsive I can be when i comes to quilting. I think he takes a daily inventory now that I'm unemployed. I have been known to leave purchases in the tool box of my truck for a few days or until he's not home.

Unbelievable, did you hide it under your coat as you walked past him?

No one to sneak past here. My family sometimes gives me the fish eye when something arrives in the mail when they are visiting. I use my stash as a threat. Anyone out of favor gets threatened with getting "THE STASH".

I can't imagine ever having to sneak a purchase pass DH unless it's for a surprise for him. I would never live with anyone that made me feel like I would have to. That's not a marriage, it's a stuckage.
