Thanks everyone. I am still in shock. I did finally play with the machine a bit today. I am a little scared of it. I am not used to so much electronics on a sewing machine :) I think I am going to be able to appliqué now! It sews such a pretty straight line with no effort. Honestly most of my time has been spent just looking at her.
I have to agree that I have a wonderful Mom. When I thought I was getting a sewing machine I NEVER expected this!
