OH! I know exactly how you are feeling cause I just got my "new" long arm on Sunday! I had purchased it 3 weeks ago and it took that long to "rearrange" the basement (read that cleaning, getting rid of tons of stuff, and just generally making room for the "Buick" as my son called it!). I bought it from the family of a guild member who recently passed, and also got all the thread, rulers, books, and 3 rolls of batting. Because of knee surgery in 2 months I really can't spend the time on it I'd like to cause my knee giv es out--but it is totally like Christmas just getting to run it and go through all the goodies!
