I pick it up next Tuesday. I am getting it for $1200 off. The saleslady kept talking to the owner and by the time we were finished, I also got the A-Line machine straight across trade for my original Espire. Some days it does pay to get out of bed!

Congratulations and I know you'll enjoy!

That's what I was looking for because I know they are lighter weight, but the great deal I got hooked me. I may still look at Janome down the road because I have granddaughters who will sew. They can have this new one. Tuesday seems like it is a long way down the calendar! Why is it time passes so quickly when we don't want it to and then drags when we are waiting for something so good?

TheJanome AQS2009 would be great for teaching kids to sew as you can adjust the maximum speed it will sew. Great for when you want real control for intricate projects too.
