So sorry about your mother. Mine was 94 when she passed and it was time too. But no matter it is still hard and I still miss mom. She was a great lady and always helping others.
I have a Kenmore 19000 made by janome embroidery machine she bought me. That was before the days of hooking into computer to down load so much. Have looked at the brother that is $500-600 but no place for it. Enjoy your new to you machine and will be waiting to hear how you like it.
