ok i called and told him I think the machine might just be too big for me and he agreed LOL. He told me to go ahead and play with it and monday he is going to bring me a Janome 3160 he said he would change out for me if i wanted that instead. Now I'm really not going to know what to do. he's being so wonderful about it though. I'm so glad i called now I feel better at least. he's a very nice person.
