Oh Eddie, I got in on that very same deal. I bought my QC 1000 at the Des Moines Quilt Show around the middle of October. I still haven't received the embroidery machine though. I am kind of worried because I have no idea how to use an embroidery machine. Special thread? Stabilizer? I'm just now getting comfortable with the QC 1000 and I absolutely love it. It free motions alot better than my old Janome. In fact I've been so busy finishing projects that I haven't posted any pictures yet. But I will soon. :thumbup:
