No, I haven't acquired any new industrial machines for some time. I have more than I need and they take up too much space. Besides, since we took over the quilt shop, people have been dropping off their old, unwanted machines so my tinkering genes are satisfied. The latest was a Featherweight that had sat in a barn long enough to get considerable rust on all the components in the lower section. I spent the weekend de-rusting and freeing up that machine and last night finally got it to sew a stitch. I did pick up a thrift shop Singer 401A a couple of weeks ago but that's the first machine I have bought in months.
