Found a pretty luggable Red Eye

In case anyone's interested.
She looks so cute, I'd snag her if the boyfriend didn't say no. See?

Get the machine, dump the boyfriend! This is your life! What are the odds that you'll ever find a red eye for $25??? I've been married 23 years, if I had to ask for permission to spend $25 I'd have dumped him 2 decades ago. My husband is a dear, he recently bent over backwards to help me buy a one year old 26" long arm quilting machine that retails for $15,000... but was being sold at cost for $6,000. He put off buying a band saw he's been coveting for 5 years.
I can tell you're a thoughtful, caring person. You're doing your best to stay within reason with your sewing, and he should consider that. I wish you all the best with your bf. But I can see the forest through the trees.

LOL, I have to laugh at several things in this thread. First calling a Singer 66 "a pretty luggable Red Eye" is funny right there. Considering the head alone will tip about 35 pounds then add the case, you gotta have the muscles of Brunhilda.
Second worring about the space one more machine will take up. I look at my own place and we are hip deep in treadles, cabinets and portables. About the only two rooms in the house without a machine in it is the bathroom and kitchen.
And I'm about ready to build a shelf unit over the bath tub. It has no shower so we never use it.
Go for the machine, tell the BF to get over it.

If I can hold out until then, I can give in and get machines like this!
