My husband and I do very well for ourselves, financially, but we're very frugal. This is by far the most either of us has ever spent on a hobby. I toyed with getting a lower priced model from Walmart (one of the Brothers), and I kind of feel guilty going for the more expensive model. It's not like anyone but me is going to get enjoyment out of the sewing machine. Does anyone else feel this way ever? Or should I just shut out the voices in my head and get to playing with my new toy?
I can understand how you feel but my attitude about a lot of things chgd. after we had so many deaths in the family in a very short time.
I went right out & bought my Viking machine that does a lot of things my Singers never did. I felt I could die next wk. so why did I do without anything. I've calmed down a bit but am happy I have my nice mach.
Just enjoy your new machine & don't waste energy feeling guilty.
