Well, I guess I'm strange. I have the machine that DH bought me as a wedding present almost 25 years ago and I keep hoping it will finally and completely die. I want it dead and gone so that I can put 1 or 2 of my vintage machines into that sewing space without feeling guilty. I have wanted to suggest to DH that I rotate out machines but don't think he'd agree. I do love sewing on my vintage machines though and love being able to fix them myself.
