I allocated the proceeds from one project, or a portion of several projects, specifically towards that purchase. When it's one project, I make it just for that purpose, above and beyond those things I need to sell to make ends meet. Then I let myself be provided for whenever that project/projects sell through. When it all works out, I've still used my "make do" tools and am so appreciative and convinced of the best solution when it finally works out. :-) No post-purchase ponderings whatsoever. <br /><br />Good luck! I've used both and can see the merits of having the machine if you will use it often.<br /><br />You might also contact some of the custom drapery shops in your area and see if they would install the grommets for you (or let you) for a small fee, until you can afford the machine. Perhaps a barter of sorts might work.Pam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12126623855195488347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967347699684614190.post-12013950213849393572011-12-08T18:21:04.452-08:002011-12-08T18:21:04.452-08:00We are all enablers when it comes to these types o...We are all enablers when it comes to these types of purchases...lolcedarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119870277278196824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6967347699684614190.post-68519378237318935812011-12-08T09:32:51.250-08:002011-12-08T09:32:51.250-08:00Good points, all.
