Trade Up or Trade In

posted in sewing |

I am going absolutely nuts with all the email notices I’m receiving from the Viking Sewing Galleries in the area. You see, in July, Viking brought out its latest and greatest addition to their embroidery sewing machine line up. This new machine is way more machine than I’m interested in and it’s priced way above anything I could ever afford, unless I won the lottery. The problem is that there are people out there who are trading in their current embroidery sewing machines for this new one and then Viking is turning around and selling the used machines. These trade ins include the Designer SE model that I’ve been drooling over for almost 2 years.

I am really trying to not spend money right now, what with softball sign ups and back to school supplies and all. I even managed to stay out of the quilt shop for almost 2 full months because I know I can’t resist the fabrics when I’m in there. I keep getting these emails though and they stare at me from my computer screen, tempting me, calling to me. Truly, even buying the machine of my dreams used I’d probably have to take advantage of the Trade your Gold for fast cash offer by requesting the free gold exchange kit and sending in my jewelry.

I know that Christmas is right around the corner, so this is certainly not the time to go out splurging on myself. I just wish they’d stop sending me those tempting offers!  I am just hoping that this same time next year, I’ll be able to to take advantage of one of these deals and get my dream machine.

    Lynne I have so much fabric in my house that I don’t need to buy any more for a long time. And I try my best not to go to any fabric stores for fear of more purchases. I noticed recently that I haven’t purchased any fabric in months and I seem to have money left over at the end of the month now!!
