'Sew' happy for you! Nothing puts a smile on a quilters face better than getting a new sewing machine! I have had several over the years, and I have loved every one of them. Years ago there was a fire in the woods behind our house, and it took days to put it out. We were told to be ready to evacuate. I promptly gathered our family pictures and my sewing machine and had them ready to go. The rest I decided could burn; I just couldn't do without those two things! Thankfully, the firemen were successful in getting it extinguished, but my family still teases me about 'have sewing machine, will travel:-)"
