It's great to hear from someone who has actually seen this machine! I recently posted about its release here in the U.S. which will be on the Home Shopping Network on the 26th (see below for the link to my original post). Can you watch it online from Australia, I wonder? They will showcase the machine and all of its features.

Please let us know after you've tried out the machine how you feel about it. There are a lot of us here on the board who are very curious!

Saw it but not here yet..It's suppose to be in celebration of the FW...It's the modern version of the FW. Like all machines now it's probably all plastic and they just don't make Singers like they use to...couldn't kill them

Hmm, think with everyone anxious to see the "new FW", that HSN will be the most viewed channel on Jan. 26??? LOL We will have to be careful not to crash their phone lines!

Its to commerate Singer's 160th year anniversary....& its simply stunning, beautiful, heavenly & a true gem in my view.

You see as much to my shock & surprise I was given one for a retirement gift along with other retirement gifts by my employer.

But unfortunately a quilting store owner here in OZ ( no names mentioned okay as its only her opinion) & she does not think very much of anything that Singer makes.....

But needless to say, I am over the moon on & ever so grateful & humble that this has been bought for me, never had anything like this done for me....so you can imagine how I feel.

Cheerio,
Jane


Congrats on your retirement!

I'm a Janome gal but i am tempted to get that awesome machine! Enjoy it!!!!

Congratulations on your retirement and new machine. Just remember this is not your mother's. FW. The singer com. Is not the same either. I bought a Futura last year and had a problem with it. Make sure you keep all your receipts and shipping cartons. The singer representative I dealt with was rude and condescending. Wish you the best of luck and hope you don't have any problems.

Congrats on your gift! I also love Singers and have had very good luck with them! Super machines to me, no matter what anyone says!

I belong to a yahoogroup and the big guy on there says it looks like it should be a pretty good machine. Congratulations on your new machine, I have seen others that have bought it as well.
