    I'm having buyer's remorse...... help me!!!

    I did it!!! I finally ordered my new longarm machine!!! But, now, I'm having buyer's remorse. I'm so scared I won't be able to do it. Or, something terrible will happen to it after I spending sooo much money on it. Will this feeling ever subside so I can feel the excitement that I should be feeling? What if I'm not good enough or cooridated enough to run this thing?? Help me!! Did anydbody else feel this way after making the decision to buy?
    Oh, by the way, I am getting the 30 inch Nolting. She is going to be purple and on a 12 ft steel frame. Delivery date is scheduled for mid August.

    Congratulations, I envy you. You will have so much fun with it. I know you will enjoy quilting with it once it is set up.
    Make it a scrappy happy day!

    i felt the same way when i bought my apqs longarm.almost five years later i love love love it! get your first class in asap..learn how to load a quilt, learn how to do a panto, adjust laser lights, mark quilt on panto grid and find the fuse box! once you get the basics, you will be whipping out your quilts in no time! i have 12 ft table too. though a different machine, i would be happy to answer any questions along the way! good luck! im so excited for you!

    me too,all of the above.you'll do great.after a short time,she'll feel part of you.an extension of your arm.I learned with paper and pen.the brain doesn't know the difference between pen and paper and long arm and fabric.just start doodling.look at designs on everything and copy them.and yes,BREATH.YEAH for you.

    I haven't named her yet because I haven't seen her yet. But, don't worry. She'll have a name. I'll know it when I meet her. Golly, I said her didn't I? Geezzz what if they send me a guy? Do they even make male machines?

    If it was a male machine it probably wouldn't work when you wanted it to, it would spill oil on the floor and your quilts, etc......Just kidding guys!
