LOL, I love that reason Pat.

Thanks guys for all the comments. Verdict is still out, it is kinda like a mechanic that fixes cars: he usually fixes the cars at home last, because he knows he can get to it later.

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful job:)! I denfinitely think you should have at least one! You are the quality control officer, so you should have a machine to compare to!

Keeping my fingers crossed. I have wanted one for a long time, so will have to see how things go.

Both babys are gorgeous - It looks like you have one pre WWII and one WWII or later. They both look new and I know my FW sews like a dream, so I'm sure they will too. Your DH does great looking work.

He did a great job. Do you help him find the machines in need or rehab?

I'd give him a kiss and get all excited and say "Oh how wonderful! I always wanted twins!!! but twin featherweights is so much better - no potty training required!" You might end up with both of them.

KarenR, you have the right idea!! Take both and let him fix up two more since he does such a good job at it!

LOL. That is great! If my DH restored FWs he would have a hard time getting them away from me. He would probably have to pry them out of my cold dead hands!

Just remind him that marriage is a 50-50 partnership and your keeping your half. LOL Enjoy the new addition to your family.
