Hi everyone,
The postman brought my sewing machine late Saturday afternoon. I was fretting that it wasn't going to come as promised. I was practically doing a happy dance in front of him. The seller filled the box with blue foam to pack the sewing machine really carefully. As my husband walked into the room to see what all of the excitement was about, all he could see was all this blue foam flying out of the box everywhere; it looked like it was snowing. Which in my mind was appropriate since it felt like Christmas.
Finally the jewel came into view and when I tried to lug it out of the box - ugh - was it heavy. My husband had to pull it out for me. I am going to have to start lifting some weights just to be able to lift it. lol
The seller had packed the cord that he used to see if the machine worked and the machine purred like a kitten. I only used it for a couple of seconds since I know that sometimes you can do damage to the computer boards if you are not using the proper cords (or at least that is what all my electronic things warn you about) and I didn't want to take a chance on wrecking anything. So it will go in for a servicing right away.
Thank you, everyone, for telling me I didn't make a mistake in purchasing this machine. I am so looking forward to using this wonderful sewing machine. It is really great to know that so many of you are really happy with your Janome. I can't wait to see how it does with Free Motion Quilting. I love that it has a bigger harp than my old Bernina.
I have emailed a number of Janome dealers to see what kind of deals I can get on the accessories that I need and in no time she should be up an running. I'm just so excited!
All I can say is that I love the comradery of this board and how everyone is so helpful. Thanks, again.
