Relativity...that's what makes spending $130 on Naughty Pirate Boots seem indulgent....
but $300 for a new sewing machine (that includes an extension table, walking foot, 1/4" piecing foot and free motion quilting foot) an absolute freaking bargain.
This morning, I was stitching away on the Blue Damn Rube quilt when my Viking decided that it was no longer going to stitch at full speed. My machine has 2 toggle switches - one for needle down and one for 1/2 or full speed. The needle down one broke a year ago and my machine guy wasn't able to find a replacement. Looks like speed died too. Sheesh. It's only 19 years old with 200,000 miles on it. You'd think they'd make things more durable.

I agree, I need a pair of naughty pirate boots :D
Yeah, they don't make them like the use to. My mom has a Singer she bought in 1957 and it's still going - may have 500,000 miles on it - she sews all the time.
Yes, you have to wonder why things don't last, eh? LOL
