Yeah I stand corrected, I wasn't thinking about the commercial stuff, just
the basic Sears "Lets fix that seam" stuff.

You obviously haven't been sewing machine shopping lately.  :)   
Some of the consumer embroidery machines and the software suite to 
run them will easily approach $10,000.

P.S.  I agree.  My wife and I inform each other just out of 
respect.  I can't think of a time when either of us has said "No" to 
the other.
