Congratulations on your new machine. I love my embroidery/sewing machine because when I take it to visit my friend in Phoenix I can use it either way. She was having trouble getting her sewing machine to go thru the multiple layers and my Husqvarna went thru it with no problems. At home I have a Janome 6600, Singer 15-9, and a Featherweight machines all ready to sew, so I leave my embroidery machine set up all the time. But it does a few things the other can't do, for one it will sew thru denim and t has has the Levi stitch.
