Well, I haven't been able to convince my DH that he needs to learn to quilt, but he has definitely developed a love for sewing machines, especially Japanese machines (since I got my Juki). It turns out he loves the futuristic designs of the Japanese machines from the 50's and 60's (at least at this point ;) ).
He was so excited then, when he found this Domestic brand machine at a thrift shop yesterday (Domestic was from U.S., but this model 924 says "made in Japan"). It isn't in too bad shape, haven't tried to get it to run yet, but I am sure that is next 8-) . Do any of you have any of these machines? Thanks for looking.

It looks an awful lot like a 50's Necchi-Elna that I got at an auction in a beautiful solid wood cabinet full of vintage supplies for $30, even got the owners manual and some attachments. It sews beautifully.

It shouldn't be long before he makes a simple quilt - maybe just out of 6" plaid or solid squares - you know, something "manly". Then, as the months go by, he'll have a stash (and no, you will not be able to take from his stash because you've got your own....)
