Good Luck and hope everything works out.

Glad you hung in there! Happy quilting with your new machine.

Oh yes, I understand completely after replacing my 30 year old Janome with a Bernina 710 last year! Steep learning curve...ha....like climbing a sheer glass wall with butter on my feet and hands at times! Had to make a new table for Bernice so the Janome was free to stay in the Horn cabinet. I have her loaded and set up to do some QAYG blocks...my excuse for not putting her away! Ah the angst of it all! I hear you, I hear you...sigh......

I think most of us can relate. There is a learning curve to any new electronic, and parting is such sweet sorrow for the old. I'm sure your new machine will serve you well and in a few months you will wonder why you waited so long. Good luck. I still get a bit nervous when I quilt on my Tiara II, which I have been using since January. It took me four months to get her out of the box.

Thanks for a good laugh and a story that hit home!

Would have thrown up my hands and walked away. Patience has never been my strong point.

Just bought my first Elna couple weeks ago half scared of it read the manuel thinking about taking a class too. Think we will be great friends once we figure out all the buttons

With the difficult learning curve you have experienced, I would name the new machine "Stupid B***h"! As in, "Come on, you stupid b***h, work right!" But that's me. Good luck learning how to work your newfangled thingy!

I agree you could write a book! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep after the machine.

What is it about quilters that when someone says we can't do something, we go ahead and prove them wrong? Congratulations on your new machine and best of luck continuing to master the new one.
