Now everything is groovy and I love her! On YouTube they have a bunch of videos about the 830. I think there are 21. You might want to watch them. Did yours come with a DVD? Mine didn't.

But I love everything about her. I haven't used the embroidery yet. I took one class on it but didn't practice it. I have to take another class.

My dealer is 2 hours away and over a snowy mountain pass. So I can only go in the summer.
Congrats!
