Al I can say is Wow!!!!, :thumbup: , I know just how you feel, Life is ssoooooo good and a new sewing machine makes it even better , You are going to have so much fun, My first machine was a singer dome top, from the 20's did not even do reverse, no zigzag and no light .This was in the 1980's.I made many shirts for my former husband that died in 2003,western shirts that were tapered and I did french seams, Boy times have changed,Been married 5 years and the NEW hubby picked out and bought this new machine for me :-P
