I did take the machine out last night, and read through the manual about 5 times, took the shipping tape-downs off of it and all that good stuff. (took parts inventory, etc.) But then it was time for a very late dinner, and after that was cleaned up it was after 10pm, so I had to call it a night. Hopefully today I'll get to fire it up and do some test sewing, so I can start assembling the quilt in the next few days!
