i went to an old friends store today, (he's 78 and i've known him for 10 yrs.) and i got to play with his professional TAJIMA embroidery machine. i made a label for my funky farm quilt. i love this machine, and MUST have it ( $14,000.00) i used to be a prof. embroider (caskets). Great warm feeling and a big smile came across my face as i used it.
