Oh my gosh! Rachel I am soooooo happy for you! I bet you are doing the hApPy DaNcE all over the place.
I just know you will love your 440QE as much as I do! AND if you ever decide you want to embroider, you have that option. That hubby of yours is definitely a keeper! Make sure you take the classes offered by your dealer. Not only do you learn all the ins and outs of your machine, but you start building a great relationship with that dealer.
Congrats! and ENJOY! (oh, pics of the projects please ;) )
