Congratulations!!! Lucky you. Your husband is a keeper!! LOL I've been looking at the 830's but hubby has already told me he's bought is last sewing machine, embroidery machine and quilting machine..darn!!!! VBG..I have a number of sewing machines. My newest is an electronic Elna I paid $12 for at a yardsale. BEfore that it was a Babylock Quilter's Edition. I have several vintage machines..mostly Singers. He bought me one of the small embroidery machines from WM a few years ago. I gave it to my dil and bought a pre-owned..don't you love that instead of used??? ha ha....Brother Pacesetter 8500. So unless I get a job...highly unlikely since I"ve worked in almost 31 years guess getting another machine is out of the question
