Boy, I would have had to do the same if I had come across a deal like that!

Enjoy it!

Haha! Way to go, good for you! I hope you have many happy hours sewing with your new machine! You will have to talk with my sister about the machine embroidery--that has turned out to be a happy pastime for her. You will have to show me your new machine the next time I am there! Carolyn

And when do you think you will be here again? hint, hint, hint

I then asked again what USED machines he had in. He had a Baby Lock Ellure Plus with embroidery unit for $900. I hadn't even thought about the embroidery part, but since it came with the machine it was a bonus. I tried it out and decided I had to jump at it. Called DH to make sure there was still Christmas money in the account and bought it. I was going to take my old machine back to them for $200 store credit, but DH says for that amount I should just keep it for when I want to take it to a class. I like the way he thinks. It helped that he has been on a buying binge with some of his hobbies lately. I've just about played the Christmas money card for as much as I can since I bought a new bicycle 2 weeks ago.
So, my $50 coupon ended up costing me a little over $1000. Such a deal!!!!

Congrats! Enjoy!!

Cool! I have the same type but it's a Trek 7500....I LOVE it! We ride the Erie Canal Trail in CNY and have ridden as far as Lockport in WNY and Utica on the other end. I ride several times a week in the warm weather. Quilting is so sedentary so I need to MOVE when I'm not sewing.

Happy riding!!!!
