Congratulations!! I know just how you feel! I started quilting with with a small, lightweight Brother with very little work area & I saved for a year & got together half the money for my dream machine (Laura Ashley NX-2000), when my DH found out how much I really wanted it and why, he put in the rest for me to have it just before last Christmas! I hope you have as much fun with your new machine!! Doing the happy dance with you! :-)
