So excited!
 
I've been reading up on & looking at different machines for months now wanting to upgrade from my little Brother (which has been a very good machine, but small work space). So, I did it! Today I ordered a Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 835...10" harp!...giggle**wiggle**shake**happy dance!! I'm a bit nervous, too, as it is a really big purchase for me. It should be here by the end of the week and I will post a picture of her. Feeling blessed, Debbie

I updated my brother earlier this year and went with a Husqvarna Viking Opal - love it!!
(I did play on the Sapphire while I was shopping - lucky you!!)

Congratulations!!!

I have a Viking a bit older than that but absolutely love the machine. Have had it for 10+ years now and have never had a seconds worth of trouble with it. Enjoy!

Neesie 09-08-2013 01:15 PM

Congratulations! :thumbup:

Becky Crafts 09-08-2013 01:39 PM

Congratulations!! I know just how you feel! I started quilting with with a small, lightweight Brother with very little work area & I saved for a year & got together half the money for my dream machine (Laura Ashley NX-2000), when my DH found out how much I really wanted it and why, he put in the rest for me to have it just before last Christmas! I hope you have as much fun with your new machine!! Doing the happy dance with you! :-)

I have the viking ruby and love it. I am glad that you are getting the saphire. It is a great machine.

I, too, have an old Viking 940. Bought it new in 1982, I think it was. I, too, have never had any trouble with it at all. So dependable. Love my Viking.

Congratulations have you the area all clean and ready for the new baby. It's like being a child again waiting for Santa. Such an exciting feeling.

You & I think alike! I have a running mental list of things to make and yesterday I started cutting squares on my Go. I thought if I made a simple patchwork quilt with it that it would help me get to know the machine. I have been told that it should be at my house late in the day on Thurs...can hardly wait!!

melodyg 09-10-2013 03:22 AM

Congrats! I know how excited you are, I went from a little brother to my new Janome 7700 and OMG what a huge difference.

jmoore 09-10-2013 03:50 AM

we share your excitement! I remember how excited I was getting my Janome 6600 almost 2 years ago. Yeah you!

qwkslver 09-10-2013 03:52 AM

Awesome. Good for you!

Sauki1 09-10-2013 03:53 AM

You'll love it. I have the Sapphire 875. I've had it for about 5 yrs. I love the extra space and it helps me with all of my quilts. :)

klgls 09-10-2013 05:27 AM

Woo hoo for you!!! Enjoy!!

nonda 09-10-2013 05:28 AM

Congratulations! Can't wait to be able to upgrade. I love my little Janome, but would love to have the larger harp!

mjhaess 09-10-2013 06:12 AM

Congratulations to you...Enjoy and be sure to let us know how you like it...

jcrow 09-10-2013 06:32 AM

Hooray for you!!! Two more days!! Be sure to check the manual before sewing. You'll love her!! I have a Viking Quilt Designer, older machine, but has never given me an ounce of trouble ever!

asimplelife 09-10-2013 06:36 AM

Congratulations! Having a larger harp changed my whole perspective on machine quilting when I bought my Juki 2010q last January. You will LOVE it!

MargeD 09-10-2013 06:51 AM

Congratulations !!

mjmachin 09-10-2013 07:30 AM

I have one and you will LOVE it!!! I also have a Viking MegaQuilter on a frame and enjoy doing the quilting on that. Have had excellent experiences with these two machines. Have fun playing!!! Congratulations!!!!
