A local Quit Shop owner offered to sell me a brand new Baby Lock Jewel Long Arm machine complete setup with almost all of the extras for $8000. Hubby told me go ahead get it...you never do anything for yourself. i was thrilled he told me too but in no way can I justify spending that kind of money-I want to get out of debt not create more lol
It was nice though to touch and play with it-even if just for a moment in time lol

I know the feeling. Would love to have a long arm and hubby says just go and get one but with the economy the way it is I'm afraid to spend that much money on myself.

I completely understand!

Thanks Loretta. The only real debt we have is from when the little one was born and our house and cars (which I just finished paying one off in November so Im down to one-yeah!!)
And you are right-some day I will have one and I won't need to create debt to get it-which will make it much more enjoyable for me :-)

My Dh would start coughing if he knew the price of a long arm! Might have to call 911 for him!

Awww what a sweet DH :D:D:D
I know what you mean about not wanting to go into debt...maybe you could start a LA account...make deposits here and there :wink:

wow - what discipline - I do understand... maybe set up an account and put the money in that you were paying for car payments and then each time you pay something off - just keep adding money to the account - it will grow quickly and you won't miss the money you've already been paying off other things with.

That is exactly what I am doing! Perhaps this time next year lol

Babylock always has a sale this time of the year. So maybe if you save up for it, you can swing it next year. They have some really good deals too. I would give anything almost for one of these. For now I'm gonna save for the Grace Pinnacle frame as I have the Babylock Pro Quiltingers Choice Professionel & it will fit on this nicely. Would the dealer let you pay it out like layway?

Unfortunetly he wont. If I finance it it would have to be through the credit union I work for which would be fine but no layaway :-(
Maybe next year I will have enough. This one had it all-the stylus, the grace pinnacle frame....ahhhh someday lol
