I Didn't Mean to buy it-Really
 

Went to the fabric/machine store today to spend a $50 coupon. Made the mistake of asking what used machines they had in. First he showed me the next step up from the Brother that I now have (which has been in the shop for 3 weeks). It was a beautiful machine but at $1200 I'd have to think about it. 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!!!!

Good for you. I hope you enjoy your new machine. Sounds like you have a great hubby too.

You and DH deserve your new toys. Just think how much you will enjoy sewing with your new Baby Lock ... especially Christmas presents!

You only come this way and as my dear Irish Aunt Ruth used to say "Dear, you need to be good to yourself every now and then". Enjoy

Enjoy! Sometimes these things happen....

Enjoy, I love my babylock!!

That is the way to do it, good for you. I am an enabler because often times I do the same thing.lol Have a great time with your machine, sounds like you got a good machine for a good price.

Bargains and good husbands are hard to find. Get them when you find them.

You will love Baby Lock and embroidery. Good luck.

Enjoy your new-to-you machine! Your hubby is sure a keeper too! :)

Good for you! That was a great deal, and you were very right to jump at it, especially since your regular machine was only worth $200 in store credit. Sounds like it was time to spoil yourself with a newer, nicer machine. You'll love it! I don't have a Baby Lock, but I have a high quality machine, and it sure does spoil you to sew on something really nice.

Happy Sewing/Quilting!

Hi,

I have a Babylock Ellure....not the plus that is computer compatible.....but you'll love your new machine!!

I also the Elegante2 Babylock that I do most of my embroidery on, but still use my Ellure when I need to get two projects done at the same time. I mostly use it for classes and sewing at the lake in the summer. Love it still!

Have a blast!

Bev

Enjoy your machine!!

Sounds like a great deal, enjoy.

Sounds like money well spent.

I agree with Phannie 1. Bargains and a good hubby. We are blessed with them. Teresa

i have an older babylock ellure that i use exclusively for embroidery. they are wonderful hard working machines! best of luck to you!

I bet the sewing machine followed you around the store and made 'puppy dog eyes' at you the whole time!

Sounds good to me after all you used your coupon

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

wow not sure to say congrats or love the hubby's thinking. have fun

You will love your new Baby Lock. I have one and wish I could have found it for $900.00. I paid... well...more.

I loved my Babylock Ellure, great little machine. Have fun with her.

Me too!! I have the Ellure Plus...

A new sewing machine AND a new BIKE!!!!! Lucky, lucky you!!! What bike did you get???

Isn't that the way it always goes LOL. Congrats on the new machine!

Congrats on the machine and a DH that supports you

Sounds good to me!

Congrats to both of you. Enjoy your new toys.

Congratulations on your new machine! You will love it. Embroidery can be incorporated into your quilting. Have fun creating.

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

Enjoy it!

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

so happy for you, it was meant for you to have a new machine

I got a Specialist Cross road. A woman's hybrid 21 speed. I love it. Can't wait till the weather warms up.

I purchased a used Baby Lock Ellegante a few months ago and i can't say enough good about it :) Enjoy your new toy. Smart to keep the old one for class. My BL is HEAVY!!

Good for you, sounds like you found a super bargain.

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!!!!

Nice for you that you have such a great husband, but how are you going to explain to the family there will be no Christmas this year???
