My wife and I went to the local sewing maching dealer today since they were having a 30% off sale on all of their sewing supplies. We both got a lot of "stuff" that we needed. :) While there, I was browsing around the sewing machines, dreaming, wishing... Well, my resistance was low, so I decided to upgrade to a better machine.
My old machine was a Brother NX650Q Quilt Club machine. It was really nice and all, but this new one is a Brother QC-1000 and it is like driving a Cadillac. Has a huge table, all sorts of fun features, etc. They gave me a really good trade-in on my old machine, and this new one was 40% off. But what's REALLY great about the deal is that Brother is doing a rebate with this machine where you get a
FREE Brother embroidery machine with it!
So here's a pic of the Brother QC-1000 that I bought:

And here's a pic of the embroidery machine that I got free with it. I have to send in the rebate form and Brother will ship it direct to me:

I'll use the embroidery machine to make labels for my quilts, probably do some embroidery on quilts, and it'll also be a backup machine in case I need to have my main new machine serviced.
So it's been a good day! :D
