We were near a Janome store today so I took my hubby in just to show him the Horizon 7700 that I have been drooling over. His comment after we left the store...it sure is BIG..it's certainly not a toy...lol.
I'm not quite sure what he had pictured when I'd been telling him about it before...lol

Gotta love them, though.

Oh, you could have sooo much fun talking to him about size, heeheheh

now there's a man who "gets it". :thumbup:

Are you ladies saying that size matters? :wink: :lol: :lol:

MMMMaybe, but powerful toys are good!
Let's be careful here - there is a moderator about hehehe

yes ... there is.

she's laughing too hard to judge or fuss. ;-) :lol:

Just when I was getting interested, you all stopped.

Hubby said that when I set up my frame. I'm like, yup! That's why you get the whole garage for your "stuff"

The Horizon is a big machine, but it sure does a lot of stuff. And I really think it's a great price for a machine that does so much.

Maybe your hubby will suggest that you go back to JoAnn's and get it. A gal can hope, right? :D

as Tim Taylor would say...."more power, huh huh huh"

Oh no, not another husband thread!! I've been cracking up since yesterday over "Reorganized" Karen's thread.
I have an all male household. I love their naivete about certain things. It's just so sweet. Boys are grown but the innocence of them and my hubby remains about stuff that we talk about on the board.

My "Boys" Hubby and older teenage and young adult men really seem to appreciate my quilting efforts. My 19 y.o. spent almost an hour looking over a christmas quilt with me once it came back from the longarmers just pointing out all the special touches she "hid" in the quilt. It was pretty fun.

That is so funny. Gotta love him.

Maybe he thought of your stuff as TOYS until he saw that machine.

Wonder what he would think of a big ole long arm? :lol:

it would scare him halfway to a fainting spell, i'll bet. :lol:

Well, I guess, when you put my old machine next to the 7700 mine does look like a toy...lol.

Oh...and he is happy for me to buy a 7700 :) We just can't afford it yet..but I'm saving really hard...lol

My husband took me out to breakfast a couple of weeks ago. Then we went to a sewing machine shop. We came home with a Bernina 630 Embroidery Sewing Machine. He claims it is his, but I can use it with his permission. We'll see how long his interest lasts! :-)

Hey of the price didn't scare him off ... he has a strong heart :thumbup: Most guys look at the price and shrudder

That's terrific!!! My husband SHRUDDERS too!!! Just didn't know what to call it! I think it originates in his wallet....hehehe

I've often told my husband, who does woodworking as a hobby, that sewing is very similar to woodworking. I say go for that Horizon when you can afford it. As my DH always says about tools and other stuff, "Pennies more to go first class."

Yeah...he's pretty good like that..he knows I enjoy my sewing..as he enjoys his hobbies :D
