You DH is definitely a keeper!!! Wow! How awesome!
My hubby is very supportive too...wouldn't have my Bernina 440 if it weren't for him. Like your husband he said "Why go for the cheaper model later, when this is what you want and at a great price!" In fact, today he stood and picked out all the embroidery thread for 2 designs while I took a class!
Enjoy your new machine...I know you will! Can't wait to see pics of the glorious creations you are going to produce!.
Oh...give that DH and extra hug tonight, you must be a wonderful wife to have such a wonderful hubby!
