I had to take my (newest) machine in two weeks ago for minor
service repairs and cleaning. THANKFULLY it is not going to cost
me anything since I purchased and additional 3 yr warranty on it.

I won't have my machine back until April 1st or sometime around
that date.

Lynnie, are you talking about the Brother PE 770? I have one and love it. If you ever come to visit with Dotty, I'll be happy to let you play with it. I'm sure there are other machines with more bells and whistles, but this one has been a work horse for me and I use it professionally.

The one that emb only.
these two ma hines are are sooooo far apart.
The tajima is a work horsetoo. Its professional, so 10 hrs a day is normal work.
my prob is the computer part. To upgrade the emb software is bet $2000.00 & 2500.00 pluse the priceof a new computer and all the works.
the brother is sooo not what i want, but it does do a 5 x 7. I had a pc8500 brother, with nithing but problems. With the bro, i can download xesigns. The tajima is floppy disc, no memory stick, so id need a reader to transfer to the floppy. If that comp goes, running windows 95, im sol.what to do.

I have a babykock ellisimo embroidery machine,it is wonderful,but after i had bought it I woud rather have my longarm quilting machine back. so if anyone is intrested .

Can you PM me with the price and details? There's a small chance I'd be interested, if the price is right.

I have found that it STINKS to heck and back not having my
BEST machine here.

Sure will be glad to have it back again, but that is not supposed
to happen until the 1st.

HOPEFULLY I will have my sewing room finished with setting up
the new desk, organizing everything (or most of it I hope) and
ready to work.

Even though I have another embroidery machine I find that it just
isn't as much "fun" using it because it is so limited on what can be
done as far as editing, sizing, and placement of designs not to mention
the screen is MUCH smaller than on my 1500D machine.

Oh well I will just continue to work on the sewing & fabric rooms to get
ready to set up the new desk.

Quilty-Louise,
Show us pics when your room is done! HOpe your machine is ready before the 1st too!

I have a post started in the "Mission Organization" section
my post is called:
"Phase 1 of my mission to organize" there is pictures of the
new desk and of the bins of fabric I have.

Thanks Louise, I never really look at the other forums but will definitely look more closer next time!

I just wanted to post that secrets of embroidery (www.secrestof.com) has some sets for $1! (yes, sets!) until March 31. It's been a sale all month. There are some good ones there...some of you are looking for things that are cheap and unless it is free, you aren't going to find it any cheaper than this!

(no affiliation at all--just wanted to let my 'fellow qb-ers" know if they didn't know already!)
