Hi everyone. I have some bad news...my $60.00 sewing machine that I have used for two years to see if I like quilting shot craps. Even worse, I came home from work to find out that my hubby had it apart in a hundred pieces. Good news is that he wasn't able to fix it and even better news is that I got an early Christmas present!! I got a new Janome 3160 QDC!! I love it! Hopefully I will be able to learn how to do some new things.

Enjoy your new machine. See every cloud does have a silver lining!!

yay?

You are a lucky person to get it now.

Good thing your husband wasn't as handy as he thought he was. LOL

Congratulations are in order.

I think the good news trumps the bad news! Enjoy.....

Enjoy your new machine! I would call this all good news!

I agree with Teacup - sounds like great news to me!! Hope you have many hour of happy sewing on it!!

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

You gotta love handy husbands, especially when they have to buy you something new to replace what they took apart. (I got a new stove that way once.)
Have fun with your new machine!

Well, LUCKY you!!!!!!!!

lucky you, new toy. congrats. enjoy.

Congrats on the new toy!

I don't think there was any bad news! You won all the way around. Congratulations and enjoy your new machine.

Congrats on your new baby. Have fun.

Love when the hubby breaks things and then needs to replace them!!!

My friend in florida just bought the same machine yesterday! cames with all kinds of goodies and at a great price! i went to see what it looked like on the janome website, and very impressed!
You go girl! do you giggle when you turn it on?!

i remember how i was when i first got my machine! i was just over the moon!

have ya named her yet?!!

Merry Christmas! Enjoy your gift! What are the plans for the old machine pieces?? LOL!

Now that's the kind of new you want to hear! Enjoy!

Remembr things happen for a reason and it was your time for a new machine. Congrats and enjoy your new machine.

Good for you :P

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. First hubby really tried to help because he knew you loved to sew and second....You get a new machine. Lucky you for both!

I love it when a plan comes together! LOL even if it isn't planned.

Congratulations on your new Christmas Gift. I've had a $79 Sewing Machine for 5 years. It has pieced 6 quilts and is still running. I did buy a new one, just in case. I don't have a husband to dismantle the cheap on so, will just keep pluging it in until it goes to SM heaven.

:lol: Sometimes the bad news produces some great news! Congrats on your new baby! Hope you gave a respectable burial to your old one...:lol:

Great news. Now do you have anything else you can give to DH to "fix". Make it something you've dreamed of owning :wink:

Sweet! I think your first project should be something for him - my husband would never have even tried to fix it!

Just goes to show that something good comes from something not so good - sooner or later - in your case sooner. congrats

Congrats, Lisaginger! Now you have to make a decision about what to do with the broken machine. Toss it, or keep it around just in case DH figures out how to fix it...

I aagree with Bulphrog...great to have a new machine. Will love to see what you do with it!!

Yeap me too. Congratulations. :thumbup:

oh lucky you!!

YEA!!!!

Well, story is I have a friend who had an old machine (heavy)
and asked her husband to bring it downstairs so she could sew
...he dropped it.....now she has a new machine..

Congrats on your new machine! Happy sewing!

Congrats on your new Janome.
I bought this machine for all my quilt classes. It is a dream.
Light weight and it has the auto thread cutter....can't live without that for piecing.

Holy Cow! What a fortunate turn of events for you!

CONGRATS!!! have fun and make lots of pretties!
