that is a great machine,have fun with it.

Oh fun for you!! I just got a new Janome 6600 P and I'm lovin' it.

I think we need to think like our spouses do when they "need" a new or different tool. They don't say they "want" it, they say they "need" it.
I had kind of the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago. I went with a friend to have her machine looked at. It was a 3 hour ride, and she wanted company. I was looking around in the shop while they worked on her machine - well - I looked in the window, and they had a Janome 11000 sitting there with a crazy price tag on it. I asked what the deal was, and they told me a woman bought it and then was afraid of it, there was no Janome dealer in town, so she brought it in to them to trade in.
It's like new and I got it for $1500.00!!! With a bunch of add on accessories. I'm still doing the happy dance!!
Enjoy your new machine. I know I'm having fun with mine.

Holy Cow now I wanna go get a new machine. Can't wait to see what a sew first. :) Congrats

I'm so happy for you! A new sewing machine makes life so much better. I bought a new one 1 1/2 years ago and love it. Gave my daughter my first sewing machine and my second one is in my closet for "in case of's". I haven't had to use my second one again, but when I need to get my new one serviced (which the dealer is 1 1/2 hours away) I can pull out my other sewing machine and continue working (even though I probably forgot how to use it).

Congrats on your machine. Enjoy.

Same here...you deserve it!

Congratulations on your new baby girl. I bet she's a beauty.

Yahoo!!! Good for you,

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll have many good years with your new toy/tool!!!
