Congrats on your new machine, I'm happy for you.
I got a new one 3 years ago--actually my husband took me to the store, made me sit down & go thru the sales demo with the nice lady. We left with a sweet little Janome, nothing fancy but lots more options than the straight & zig-zag stitches I was used to. I love my little machine. And I went back for 'Bring Your Own Project' Thursdays & made some great friends & quilt projects.
