Black Friday was my friend this year
My husband bought me a sweet 16 sit down machine!! It’s always been my dream machine after testing one out at a quilt show once. Instead I’ve gone through 2 Bailey’s which I liked and definitely got my money’s worth out of them, but recently I started dreaming about the Sweet 16 again. Our 40th anniversary is coming up in February so he got me my present early. 😍 It may be my present for a few years and I’m fine with that. I’ve finished one quilt on it so far and love it every bit as much as I thought I would. I’ll post my finished quilt as soon as I can get him to help me hold it up for a picture.

Congratulations! What a great gift.
If I had to wait for DH to buy me a machine I'd never get it even with a map with a big X on the machine. He doesn't have any desire to buy anything quilting related. He knows if it is something I wanted for quilting I'd already have it. I don't think to discuss it anymore, his eyes glaze over. I just have it delivered. LOL

Jingle, the Sweet 16 is a sit down machine which doesn't take up very much space (a fraction of the space needed for a long arm).
him/her: Congratulations on your new present! I just started watching videos of a gal from Australia who works as a rep. for the Handi Quilter co., and what she can do with the S.16 is amazing! I believe her name is Helen Godden. Sounds like you are already mastering the machine. Anxious to see some of your work.
