DH has finally twigged that, however sad it seems to him, what I want most in all the world for Christmas is a new sewing machine.
He says I need to give him precise instructions. So what do I want? When I stop lusting over £5000 "worth" of Husquvana Viking, what I need is an excellent straight stitch (quieter than my current rattly one, but that would not be hard), capable of sewing quite heavyweight stuff as I do quite a lot of curtains/upholstery.
What I would like would be some silly stuff like embroidery - but not at the expense of the above.
Any ideas? I am guessing anything up to £1000 is a possibility, but £500ish might be more realistic...
