Ok, so I’m a hoarder. You’ve got your problems, I’ve got mine. I collect sewing machines. But it’s out of control and it’s time to put an end to this silliness. But u shouldn’t. I don’t even know how to thread a machine or hem pants. Time to let you be the hoarder (Definition=3+ machines). I don’t judge & I won’t whisper a word to your hubby…but honestly of the dozen or so machines I own (ask me-all for sale—old Singers, an Elna, another 2 Necchis, 2 Bernina’s, etc, a German 1950s,) this Sylvia looks like it’s never been used. It Looks like it belongs in a museum of modern art. These Italians. They make beautiful people, cars, and now a timeless sewing machine. As far as I can tell it works well. I’m open to questions, queries, consults, or a simple conversation.
