Congratulations. For me the biggest extra that I bought have been a few hoops. Mine came with a small one and a large hoop and since then I've gotten a few more like the 8x8 quilters hoop, the endless hoop and a couple of others. I'm always checking out different stabilizers; there are so many. I have different threads and I'm lucky because my machine loves them all so far. You'll need a variety of different needles for different types of fabric. Emblibrary.com has a project section which is good to get an idea of different things you can do they also have a section called Kenny's corner and it has tutorials of threads, stabilizers, etc. I signed up for oregonpatch.com. They represent alot of different companies and I get emails every week with great sales and freebees. They are good to work with. Make sure you take what ever classes you can; it makes life so much easier when you find easier ways to do things and things you never knew you could do. Have fun and enjoy your new machine.
