I like the hardcase, too!
Is that a Europro I see peeking out from behind your new machine?
Don't forget <g> I want to know how big that space between the needle and the tower and how tall from machine bed to - - you know! How big is that area where all of the quilt ends up until we get to the middle of the quilt? Inquiring minds want to know!
And, don't forget you can upgrade ... that cannot be a bad possibility, though I have never exercised that option <g> just get too used to a machine to want to change, if it is any good at all.
Keep us in mind for a full report following your "weekend breaking in session" <g>.
This is almost as good as buying a new machine myself!
Cool!
