It is hard to justify spending that much on a sewing machine, but I do spend several hours a week (sometimes several hours a day) using mine. After making a couple of quilts, it gets easier to realize you need a better machine. Plus, I keep thinking that if my machine were more reliable, I’d make more clothing for myself. That hasn’t happened yet, but I dream….

I’d love a new machine like yours, but I don’t use it enough to justify the expense; nor do I earn enough at this point. Maybe when I graduate….
