Yep I did it
 

Bought the new Brother V Series Sewing/Quilting machine! I am so excited. I really wanted this machine and my hubby said go for it, so it did! Wow, a lot to spend for a machine, but it looks awesome!!!!! i can not wait until it comes in = mid September.I am thinking it will be so worth the wait.

Now who can teach me to machine quilt?????:eek:

Congratulations! I think the thrill of having a new machine (even the new to me one) is one happy feeling we can have just for ourselves.

Congratulations!!! :thumbup:

Hey, girl, I am so jealous! That machine is a dream come true, and that hubby of yours ain't bad either. He's a keeper!

me me me! congratulations! i know you are excited! hey, maybe we can meet at a longarm show and take classes tigether! would live to meet you in person!

So happy for you! I bet you will love it.

Good for you!! What are you ging to make first?

WooHoo!!! Know you can't wait...hubby is def a keeper!

Congratulations - please keep us posted after you get it, maybe with some pictures and your opinion of it? I'm thinking it will be wonderful!!!!

I have been watching the videos online, I cannot wait to go see it in person.

Good for you. Have fun. joyce j

Lucky, lucky you. Enjoy your new machine.

congratulations !!! It will be a great machine to produce fun and fascinating projects.

How exciting, congrats!!!!

Congratulations...you are a lucky girl!
I got to see it and try it out at the AQS show in Michigan yesterday. They had a show deal on the price. $500 off, and it also included, at no cost, a $2,000 sewing cabinet with the fold down side...enough room to lay on a huge project for free motion quilting AND the three carrying cases, also at no cost!!! It's soooo tempting to take it because I know there won't be another deal like it out there. It has 11" space under the arm and has a laser that you can use to tell if you're sewing straight. Too many features to mention...some I don't know if I'd ever use them. I also found a Pfaff and a Husquvarna (sp?) that were really good deals for much less cost. My dilemma is the show ends at 5:00 today, and since my two machines are both out of commission I need to decide quickly. Don't know if I can even get there today. I'm going to my DDIL's baby shower at 2:00!

Congrats! I love Brother machines. I think that out of all the machines on the market Brother is the most user friendly.

Congrats on your new machine! There's plenty info on machine quilting on here and on youtube!

By the looks of many comments on this board, husbands of Quilters must be about as special as the Quilters themselves! We are a blessed bunch, aren't we??

Hooray for you! That's fantastic! You are going to have SO much fun!

Indeed we are blessed!! My DH bought me a Janome Horizon for Christmas last year - all by himself (with a little advice from my sis).. What a guy!! He never complains when I come in the door with another bag of fabric from the LQS.. But then, I don't complain when he buys a new gun, four-wheeler, tractor, etc., etc., etc., :thumbup: SO we're blessed to have found each other!!

I was curious about how much it costs, am I allowed to ask that here?

Good for you. I am not a patient waiter. I would go nuts to have to wait that long. Good for you to get it.

Congratulations! Great new machine and a hubby who is definitely a keeper!

You might want to check out www.craftsy.com, they have lots of quilting classes, and some times there are free classes.
Congratulations on your new machine - just have fun with it!!

Congratulations! I can hear your excitement! Can't wait to see some of the designs you can share with us !

Congrats! Enjoy your new machine!

There an awesome feeling about getting a new machine I have had mine
for a while I think I need a new one.

Congratulations!! I think a new sewing machine is more exciting than a new car! September seems like such a long wait though...I had to wait a WEEK to get my "baby" and I was literally(!) having dreams about her every single night...and I got to the store a half-hour before they even opened on the day I was to pick her up, LOL.

I need to get one of those! The wonderful husband I mean lol.

Give us an update when you use it...can't wait to hear more about it.

Found this blog with a price http://jocrazymama.blogspot.com/2012...wish-list.html

Congrats on a new machine!

So much fun... and you're gonna love that 11" of space! (I just got the Janome Horizon 2 weeks ago - and I can't imagine going back to a small sewing machine again!)
