    Default New Machine

    Thanks to everyone who has posted their thoughts on the Husqvarna Sapphire 960Q. I brought it home yesterday and got to play with it for a couple of hours. I love the quilt stitches on it and it seems to be a great machine. I've always owned Vikings so wasn't surprised about that. I had considered the 930 but after reading all the great comments I decided to go with the 960. I'll be absent for a month trying to figure out all this baby can do.

    I just bet you won't be learning the machine and how it works all that long. You'll be sewing like a pro in no time.

    We'll be buried in snow starting Sunday, so you will get some extra days to play!

    Housecleaning around here is a thing of the past. I figure if I can't see it, it doesn't exsist. One advantage of sewing in the basement. As soon as I figure out how to post pictures from my phone I will do it.

    He's so good to me, bought me the 960Q when I was going to buy the cheaper 930. He will cook or he will eat whatever I manage to cook. We eat a lot Marie Callender's frozen meals. No leftovers, inexpensive and everyone can have what they want. For the two of us it works out fine. I'm pretty lucky!

    Enjoy your new machine! Love my older Viking. Still a workhorse.

    I now have three old Vikings sitting in my sewing room. A 330 electronic (for sale), a #1+ embroidery machine, I won't ever get rid of and a Lily 535 who might also be going up for sale soon. I have my mother's old Singer and will probably get her newer Kenmore as well so I'm getting a bit overrun with machines. Love my Vikings.
