Why do we get so attached to our sewing machines?

I don't know! Right now, I have my 1973 Singer touch&sew sitting here, with the gear that operates the feed dogs GONE! It was rubber & broke off! Was willing to let it go, couldn't use any of the decorative stitches , the core that holds the cams is cracked & not replaceable.Was told at last cleaning, she was on last legs! ready to let go, THEN my sister says, "you could just quilt w/it-NO FEED DOGS!"hmmmm, funereal delayed, BUT now(2mos) I think its time to say good bye!

Your sewing machine is yours and yours alone so of course you are attached. Everyone else uses all the other appliances also so you don't get attached. It is like I have a "love,hate" relationship with mine. Love it when things are going well and hate it when I mess up.

I love 2 of my machines (the Pfaffs) but absolutely love my new refrigerator too! It has a bottom freezer that pulls out. It is so much easier to see what I have in the refrigerator part now. Heaven!
Now my stove is another story......

I think for me it is like with my truck. After awhile you learn all of their little hiccups and noises. Like your vehicle you learn when something is sounding wrong, you learn when the stitches are not working quite right, they become your friends and your confindant. They see your imperections. I have one that doesn't quite work right and my father-in-law was the only one who can seem to get it in running order, but he is gone now so it sits in its case in a closet in the garage. I just can't bare the idea of getting rid of it. It gave me such loyalty for quite a few years.
