I know it sounds so flagrantly expensive to non quilters but I thought I needed a new machine for taking out to classes etc. so I treated myself to a new Janome txl607
http://janome.co.uk/janome_products/model-txl607/ and I couldn't be more pleased. At 6.5kgs it is within my carrying capacity which my older machine wasn't and it has all the nice little extras that I have on my Elna 730 and miss so much when giving a workshop, you know the needle threader that works, up n down switch, thread cutter etc; etc. all my quilting friends agree that it's money well spent, non quilters look at me as if I gone off my head. I got a good deal, split payments with no interest and the extension popped in for free, I don't drink, smoke, go out to pubs or restaurants, don't even have a toy boy
so what else should I spend my money on, other than fabric?
