Today is my birthday. My old sewing machine has conked out. Last week, my Hubby took me to the machine shop and we bought me a new Sapphire 875 machine! It will be delivered around the 24th of this month AFTER my Son from Alaska has come, visited and gone back home.

How about that for a neat gift? I am so excited to get her home and start trying to teach myself free motion quilting! Wish me luck on that part, please.

Happy Birthday a day late. What a wonderful gift.

IBQUILTIN 03-05-2011 12:25 PM

Happy Birthday to you!!! Don't worry about learning on the sapphire. She is a dream to work with. The bobbin winding might surprise you a little, but you'll get used to it. Enjoy her to pieces, she is a workhorse. I sure love mine

Grandma Peg 03-05-2011 12:41 PM

Happy Birthday, great gifts.

Happy Birthday, it is mine also.

Happy Birthday!!! What a great gift and DH is definitely a keeper. I have the Sapphire 850 and Designer SE as well. I use the 850 for FMQ (which I'm still learning)and piecing all the time. I know you will love your 875. If it comes with lessons, make sure you take advantage of them. Happy Sewing!!!

KathyKat 03-05-2011 08:53 PM

I have a Sapphire 870 and love it!!
