I know you will be very happy with your new machine. I like the pics of your sewing room too. Your's is sooooooooooo neat, not mine. Although I did get it picked up last week some......I know how you are about big purchases. I made a decision a few years ago to buy the Brother 4000D because I wanted something that embroidered and I could quilt with too. My husband was afraid I would spend all of that money and not get my money's worth.......now he says.........Are you ever coming out of your sewing room? In the spring I garden and work in the yard a lot, but in the dead heat of summer I am inside sewing. Thanks again for your pics.....you will love the free classes, I had always looked forward to them.
