I love my Vintage machines, but had a hankering for something a little fancier. I was looking at mid-range Baby Locks, but my husband started asking comparison questions about different machines. Next thing I knew, I had fallen in love with the Elissimo Gold. We sat for a good long time thinking about which machine to get, but when the saleswoman came back and offered another $1000 off, we went for it. Will I ever learn all the features this has? Yikes!

I was overwhelmed when I got my last Janome, but a few classes later, I can make that thing perform! Take some classes and you will have it down in no time. Congrats on a gorgeous new baby!

cmierley 01-23-2013 04:20 AM

You will love it! I have the Brothets Quattro 6000D, which is the same machine. I feel so spoiled. I wouldn't trade it. I just live live live it!!!! Thanks to my DH who told me to get the top if the line. I use it almost everyday. Congrats and enjoy.

That is why you should negotiate the price!

Congrats on the new beauty!

NO WAY! He does not go car shopping with me either. I strike a better deal than he does.

This really has nothing to do with Quilting but I went shopping for Kitty Liter and came home with a brand new car. Go figure. :)

Same here, love my Quattro. You are going to love this machine. Funny, when I read the headline I thought you did the car thing. Last year Hubby and I were looking for a car for me. Looking at Ford Explorers, came home with a Mercedes Crossover (cross between a SUV and a sports-y luxury car). Funny how we "read" things, my hubs and I being "car people" so I thought there was a real car here.
Congratulation on the new toy, pedal to the metal!!

psychonurse 01-23-2013 05:58 AM

Congrats When I went shopping for a new sewing table a few years ago, that is when I came home with my Janome 10001, and hubby was the instigator that day. Enjoy your new baby

nhweaver 01-23-2013 06:01 AM
