Reply to "Greetings from south coast England - Chesil Speedster"

My wife has been a quilter for many, many years and has a couple of different sewing machines that do different things, like embroidering letters and images or doing free-style quilt stitching.  The cost of these machines is just as eye-opening as a lot of the Speedster stuff (on either side of the Atlantic) and I can easily equate a middle-of-the-line quilting machine to a new 2,110 Type 1 engine in similar cost.

BUT (there's always a "but", right?) God Forbid if I ever tried to use one of those machines for upholstery.  I did that once when we were first married and sewed up the front seat of a 1946 Ford coupe (it looked really nice) while she was away on a busniess trip, but ended up buying her a new machine after I screwed up her first one.  I also learned that they make special, rugged machines for upholstery for a reason......
