Good for you girl. I know you will be so happy with your choice. Sounds like me when I couldn't decide to buy the 600 Kitchen Aid Mixer. Kept it in my amazon cart for 3 months. Kept checking back every week to see what the price was & finally I bought it. Made 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies in it today with no effort.

Congratulations!! I have the same machine you bought and it's a fine machine. Now you just have to fret, waiting for delivery.

I know how that is... waiting and thinking, thinking and waiting. You know you want it and you're going to eventually, one way or another. I saw on one site that it said, "Sale ends January 19th."

Thanks for all the support and encouragement. I wish I could invite you all over for some quilting days! (and to show me how :-) )

WTG!
you know that if you didn't buy it you would be kicking yourself for it

MaryStoaks

If you live anywhere near me come on over and I'd be glad to show you what I know. We live in the Palm Springs/Indio area.

I know I would be kicking myself if I didn't get it and a month from now it's not available anymore.

Thank you MaryStoaks. Southern California is quite a drive from the San Francisco Bay Area. I was there in the summer with my sister and it was a loooonnnggg drive, around 7 hours I think.

I am with Eddie on this one I say go for it!!

If I wasn't such a TIGHT WAD I would break down and buy one myself. I have been using my Singer 15 treadle for all of my quilts and most of them are queen to king size. Let me tell you its an adventure to say the least but I enjoy the challenge!!

Since I am really good a fabrication I have been toying around with building one and using a Singer industrial like a 29 or a 31-15 for the long arm. I have a buddy that owns a machine shop and I can use it anytime I need it, so I am thinking for around a grand I could build me a really nice one.

Let us know when it comes! :-D

I'm a tight wad too about most things. I don't buy clothes or shoes unless I have to (but I do have a weakness for lounging pants and shirts). I don't need a new car every few years. I very often do impulse not-buying. I put things back that I picked up while shopping before I actually get to the check-out and buy it because I don't NEED it.

You'll have to let us see your machine when you get it made. :-D

And I'm sure that I will be letting y'all know when it gets here.

Billy, check out this guy. Richards Home Built Machine Quilting Frame. http://mysite.verizon.net/rzsdad/index.html. He sells directions on how to build a frame & now he tells some of the harder to find parts, It is pretty neat site.
