That's a great story. You definitely are a very lucky girl. My dad was that way with my mom when it came to sewing machines, whenever she wanted an upgrade he never said NO.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That's a great story. You definitely are a very lucky girl. My dad was that way with my mom when it came to sewing machines, whenever she wanted an upgrade he never said NO.
Sew jealous, of your machine and Hubby. I usually have to get my own stuff and then say "look at what you bought"
Congratulations! You will love it. My hubby purchased the Crescendo for me about a month before Babylock announced the new Destiny embroidery/sewing machine. It is the same machine as the Crescendo with the embroidery unit added. I went to an Eileen Roche seminar where the my dealer had several different Babylock machines. Of course, he put me at the Destiny because he knew I didn't have that one. It was all an evil plot! lol I spent the 2 day seminar telling the dealer that I wasn't going to buy the Destiny, much as I loved it. I already had the Ellisimo Gold II. My hubby knew how much I loved the Destiny, so he talked to the dealer and the dealer made him an offer he couldn't refuse. I now have the Destiny. Traded the Crescendo and the Ellisimo in on it. It really is a dream!
We have been married a long time too . . . it will be 50 years in December. He has always been an enabler, but is even more so since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I wouldn't trade him for anything. It helps that I got him started computer digitizing embroidery designs so that I could stitch them out. He retired in 2010 after a 45 year career in computers. He likes anything computer. He has a Babylock 10 needle Enterprise. He understands the 'need' to have a good machine. Since he retired, his hobby is digitizing and stitching out things for our grandsons and friends . . . and our grandsons' friends. lol
