Ok, ladies, you are looking at the proud new owner of a Baby Lock Crescendo!!!! I am soooo excited!!
I bought it this morning. A fun day to buy it...it's my daughter's 40th birthday! And I'm big on music (a violin/piano player) so the Crescendo name is meaningful.
They gave me 10% off for purchasing the floor model, so that satisfied my need to get a 'deal'. And another 2% for paying cash.
I pick it up Tues or Wed. I can hardly wait!!!!
Thank you all so much for your input. I was being way too frugal...you guys gave me the impetus to do something fabulous for myself!!
