Why do we get so attached to our sewing machines?

I don't think we need a reason to bond with our sewing machines. We are women (mostly here , I think) and thats reason enough. If anybody remembers Dobie Gillis on T.V., there was a girl, Zelda Gilroy who chased him forever, and said he would eventually love her because of "Propinquity", spending time together. (they sat near each other in classes) I think when you spend as much quality, fun time with our machines, we cant help but develop a warm and meaningful relationship. This coming from a woman who cried when she traded in her trusty Subaru wagon on a brand new Dodge Caravan. I think that's why we have so many sewing machines. Who can part with a trusted companion?

We spend a lot of time with our sewing machines. We physically interact with them. They help us to relax and create. They are not appliances they are tools.
I feel the same way about my sewing machine as I do my car. I would be heartbroken if anything happened to my car. But cars are my other hobby.

I love the music of the machine. My favorites have a certain sound, no straining or grinding. The 1941 is my favorite of all time, she just sings. With woodworking, a much used tool comes to the hand, seems almost eager to go. Of course I know its my perceptions at work but isn't joy why we do this?

We do more things over them than any other machine. For example; dream, plan, pray, imagine, play, get lost...over them. So yea, we do get attached, am I going to do anything about that, not if I want to remain sane I won't.
