My best friend got carried away at a quilt show and bought a machine that remained in the unopened box until one of her children made arrangements to sell it. I, myself, bought a used machine in a nice cabinet at a garage sale, got it home and decided I hated it and took it immediately to a sewing machine repair shop, after hours. and left it on the sidewalk for the proprietor with a note that said, "Fix it, use it for parts, sell it for junk--whatever you want to do, and take your wife out to dinner on the proceeds." I didn't sign the note and don't know what happened to the machine or cabinet--maybe someone stole it off the sidewalk! People do lame stuff, even some of the people on this board; the ones who don't are probably the ones who don't own seam rippers because they never make a mistake. froggyintexas
