#1 - Get a new sewing machine

We'll start small. I need a new sewing machine badly. Why is it that I can spend $2000 in a week buying this and that, but I can't pony up $200 for a new sewing machine? Lets discuss my current one...

My grandmother bought it around 1984 at Montgomery Ward. Remember that shit hole? I remember the lady showing us that it could sew through denim and leather, because apparently those were hot features back in the 80s. Must sew your own fringed leather jacket, or something.

Today... it doesn't really even sew through AIR consistently. It skips stitches, comes unthreaded, gets tangled, and generally just pisses me the hell off.

Why do I want a new sewing machine? I don't sew. If pants need hemmed, which I hear is about the easiest clothes alteration there is, they go to the tailor. Shirt get a hole in it? Time to buy a new one! No, the reason I want another one is so that I can sew on my layouts without swearing. I've nearly ruined several with this piece of crap sewing machine.

I sew on nearly every layout I do. And I do at least 1 a day, sometimes more. This is much swearing. I don't have enough Prozac to deal with this machine any longer.

Make me buy a new one. It's just $200. I spend that every couple days on whoknowswhat at Walmart and Target.
