I took the plunge...
 

I bought a new Brother Dream Machine! It is still sitting in my sewing room. I will tackle it tomorrow,

Good for you!! Enjoy your new machine!

Good for!
Enjoy your new friend

I bought one a couple of months ago. I LOVE it. I did not get the embroidery just the sewing machine. Love the self threading and the beeps if your thread breaks. I have sewn at least a 100 hours on it and every time I use it I fall in love again

Good for you, I love getting a new machine.
What size throat does it have?

The throat is 11". It is a combo sewing/embroidery. It is their best machine. I am thrilled!

congrats Mazda... I don't have any personal experience with the Dream Machine but it looks like a beauty. I hope you have many hours of enjoyment with your new machine.

Congrats and enjoy!!!

Several of my friends have the Dream Machines. Please go take the lessons. All of my friends expressed pleasant surprise at all the extras the machine does that they didn't know about until the classes. Some of it isn't obvious. They love their machines. FYI...as you have found out, it is heavy. They don't consider theirs as a machine to take to classes or sew days. They kept other machines for that purpose.

I plan to get a Dream one of these days. Maybe I should see if I can download the manual so I can get familiar with it. Just dreaming.

Congrats on your new Baby. Have Fun!
