A real keeper
 

As my birthday just passed and have been wanting a new sewing machine, was suprised when my dh took me to the Janome dealer and we got the Horizon 7700. I am now learning all the ins and out of this new machine and so far so good. Will keep both around a lot longer dh and sewing machine.

Yep, a keeper- like you said, both of them! Glad you like your new machine!

Lucky lady! Your DH deserves something nice too!

doing the happy dance for you

Wow! Happy Birthday and you have a great hubby!

Happy Birthday!!! I love mine, what a great gift :)

Happy Birthday and what a lovely gift. I have one and just love it...hope you will too

Congratulations Irene...you should love your Horizon. I know I do mine. It has proven to be a wonderful investment.

Lucky you, my birthday was the 30th and my husband never even bothered to say anthing to me about it. You have a keeper there.

Happy Birthday and enjoy your gift!

Enjoy your birthday gift! Nice to know there are still such loving dh!

Congrats and happy birthday!

Lucky Woman-Happy Birthday--Enjoy that sewing machine and Hubby!!

Happy Birthday to you and a late Happy Birthday to mamaquilts! May you both live long and happy (quilty) lives and enjoy every stitch of them!! And mamaquilts...if he doesn't say anything about yours, you're bound to get TWO birthday presents for yourself!

Happy Birthday! What a thoughtful and generous husband! I have the Horizon, too, and I really like it. Have fun!

Happy Birthday--congrats on the new machine and the wonderful husband.

Congratulations...you will absolutely enjoy every minute with your new baby. I have one and love it. Not only is it a good quilting machine I think it's beautiful also.

Happy Birthday and enjoy your new machine!

Yes, congratulations. I am SO glad that I decided to get the Horizon. Had my instruction class last Friday and am amazed at all of the things that I can do now. A few of the things could have been done on my Elna but I never bothered taking the class...and didn't attempt to try them on my own. I LOVE the applique stitch and will be using it for sure. Plus all of the little pictures and alphabet will be fun to incorporate into projects too. Instructor told me how to use the automatic needle threader and it worked perfect...there. Tried it at home here and couldn't do it so did it by hand...but I WILL practice doing it. And...I LOVE the thread cutter. What a great idea...after years of grabbing the scissors to cut the threads. I am now getting STRAIGHT seams with the 1/4" foot. I know there are more things that I love but will stop now. LOL I am sure you are going to be glad you got it...and that's a great hubby for buying it for your birthday. My Elna...hubby bought for me for Christmas in 1999 and it still works great. I promised it to my grandaughter so she will be here on Sunday and I'm going to make sure she wants it before I clean it and gather all of the parts, needles and bobbins for her.

Happy birthday. Enjoy your machine.

Yeah for you!!! Enjoy the "honeymoon". :)

Happy Birthday! My DH's BD is on the same day. He went to the casino and played with this "free dollars" and I worked on a quilt.

He sounds like a keeper! Have fun

I love my machine. When I first got mine I sewed out a sample of all the decorative stitches and keep it in a notebook so I can remember what they actually do. Have fun!!! And it's great for FMQ!!!

keeper for sure. Happy B-Lated Birthday

Yep! He's a keeper! The Horizon is a wonderful machine! Enjoy!

Now you need to make him a quilt!

Smart hubby to know just what would be a perfect gift. Enjoy both.

That is the machine I dream about but finances will not permit the dream to come true. Have fun with your new machine and you have a very special DH.

Very nice. Happy Birthday!

Congrats on the new machine. I know you'll love it. UPS delivered my new to me machine just a few hours ago. DH came to the door and looked disappointed seeing the box. He said it's for you. I said that's my new sewing machine. He said well I was expecting it to be my new hunting something or other (my ears quit working after the word hunting) I asked him if he wanted to see the machine I bought at a bargain price and he said what machine? I guess his ears quit working after the word sewing. LOL

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your gift and definitely dh is a keeper!

Congratulations for all 3: wonderful husband, a happy birthday, AND a new machine!

Well, Happy Birthday. I hope you will be very happy with your gift. I got the same thing for my birthday, great machine. Great DH too!!! Enjoy and congratulations. :)

Thank-you so much for all the great wishes I am enjoying both the machine and my great DH.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your new machine!
