Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My husband gave me a sewing machine 9 years ago for my birthday and I used it maybe 5 times and not in the last 6 years. It’s literally collecting dust now. 

I have been selling some things recently because I lost my job and have the time to sort through our stuff. And ok yes, I can use the money. 

He says “it’s one of those things that’s good to have” and I’m going overboard with the selling. I also sold an ottoman today that we dumped in the basement because he said he hated it as soon as it arrived at our house. The ottoman was about 6 years old. Now he’s upset about the ottoman because he said he would use it when he was working on his hobby in the basement. 

I was on the fence about selling the sewing machine but I’m getting back about 80% of the retail price, and the woman buying it lost everything in a house fire last year and said it would be “life-changing” to be able to sew again. 

I’d love to have the time and talent to use the machine more often but I’d rather it go to a good home where it will be appreciated. 

When we need our clothes altered, we take it to a tailor because I don’t have the skill to alter clothing ourselves. It’s a very complicated, advanced machine and I’d rather have one with fewer features so I can get my hands around it before moving to more advanced techniques.
