    dh? what is wrong with 2?? they are great investments. came a time when i had to sell one when i retired, (pensions are not all that terrific)....i had paid $90.00 and sold it for $650. can dh match that with a tool? you deserve to keep them. i have 9 other machines, including a treadle, hand turn singer and a used hq16, long arm...my son, the truckdriver, found one at a trucker's stop and bought an elna for $10.00, and knew it would make my day, works beautifully at classes. i love my toys that pay for themselves with the first quilt. good luck, and enjoy.

    First:
    Congratulations!!! It was def your day.

    Second: I am proud of you for not being dishonest with your DH & for knowing what you want or how many. I would sell it also if I only wanted one AND by selling one, you are giving someone else to be in the FW Club. Very kind of you!

    Third: Enjoy Susie and I wish you & her many beautiful quilts together.

    its not practical, and I will be selling it at a small profit and need the $$... at least I am keeping one. And if you think about it, so many people want one, it would be selfish of me to keep 2
