I'm excited for you!! What machines are you considering?
I have been using a simple Pfaff with IDT. Last year while shopping in Geneva I bought a BabyLock Espire and haven't taken the cover off much less travel back there to take the two classes!! I take care of my grandson during the week (now 8 mos) and it has been one thing after the other - with the most recent being my moms diagnosis of stage4 metastatic colon cancer. I actually took the manual out yesterday morning to read while having coffee and I was so overwhelmed. Maybe if I have the machine in front of me while going through the book I'll be able to process what I'm reading.
