I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

    Most modern sewing machines have capability to do so much more than you probably really need.

    Personally, all I really need is a machine that can do straight stitches with adjustable stitch length and reversing. I have a 1950s machine that does that, and it was free to me, and there’s attachments for zigzagging if I want.

    If you are just patching and altering clothes, that’s probably all you need, too.

      Yep, definitely.

      No need to spunk loads of money on something I’ll not use to its full capacity…

      A second hand simple model will be sufficient.

      The most exciting thing I’ll end up making is probably pillowcases/cushion covers.

      Or that dress from IASIP
