She said she would like to get me one that will be with a sewing machine cabinet, as the one I have is a portable, she wants me to have something more stable.
So... we will be watching the thrift stores hehe (not sure how much she is willing to spend)
she got her pfaff second hand, for $8, then spent I think about $100 getting it serviced. Not sure what pfaff it is, just know it is a pfaff, and she loves it.

I know to each his own, but I can't appreciate or justify collecting sewing machines...yet. The Board is so influential though, you dears.
But, I do love to collect seam rippers and scissors! Do you think I'm gearing up to collecting machines??????? Uh oh :?

Now I don't feel so strange having more than one! I've "only" got 5 - one is a Viking-Huskvarna which my son (also a sewer/costumer) found for me at a garage sale. 2, including the Viking need work, so I keep moving them from house to house, hoping to get the money together to have them serviced!
