June 3, 2004--more about my sewing machine

About my sewing machine:

It's not an expensive one. It's not even a Singer. We ended up getting a bottom of the line Walmart sewing machine--the cheapest one they had. Erick wanted to save up for quality, because that's the way he likes to do things. He's always been the kind to buy things you can hand down to your great-great-grandchildren, even if they cost more. I've always been the kind to buy the cheapest possible. If I can get it used at a yard sale or thrift store, I'm even more thrilled. He's never really been thrilled about getting things second hand. Our personalities in this area have always conflicted somewhat.
I had found some second hand stores I wanted to check out, but it occured to both of us that the chances of finding one that was open after five on a Saturday, especially right before a holiday, were slim. We had some other things we needed at Walmart, so we went ahead and got it. So far, I'm quite pleased with it. It has a warranty and works fine. It's very easy to use and has more features than I'll ever use! I feel good that we paid cash for it. It's so nice being off of the credit cards.
