As I will have been severely traumatised by this experience  and have been separated from my machines for 5 months and counting - do I deserve a coverstitch machine to help me recover?

Edited to add: Mr C is buying himself a new laptop tomorrow - not that that should colour any considerations, of course.

Is this a replacement or do you not have one?

Not for dressmaking.  :) The results can be very home made looking.

Definitely, and make sure he's paying to cushion the separation issues and avoid having to pay for counselling.

Definitely a yes from me too, go on enjoy your time in Bali whilst you can, and as for getting this home, well you sensibly used your own travel bag - so weight etc. should be no problem.

Yes of course you need a coverstitcher.  Also lots of fabric to use as padding around it so that eventually you can transport it home.
