Yes, I have said same several times. When I was up to 12, again at 15, now at 20. And expected a new one tomorrow that I watched for a week on CL thinking I had talked myself down. But a friend who doesn't mind driving in traffic said she would enable, I mean help, me so now I'm getting my first New Home, high shank machine...and it's green...and comes with manual and attachments...and less than my bargain price. I had to get it because I have 4 orphan high shank feet in the foot collection.
I just noticed that I seem to get the itch after I have made progress in repairing an existing machine. The New Home came after I wired a new foot control to my Bernina racer (he only sewed at top speed so I named him Secretariat, Big Red for short) and repaired my leaky faucet. There is always a justification.
