They are so good to me!

We just bought a new house, one that finally has the space for me to have a dedicated sewing room. As I was unpacking things that had been in storage for far too long, I casually mentioned to my husband that it might be time to look at a new sewing machine...(there wasn't anything wrong with the other one, a Simplicity Quilter's Classic but I really wanted an embroidery machine)...imagine my surprise when the BIG box showed up yesterday with this inside! So excited!!!! A belated Anniversary gift from the hubs and our sons.

I have an older model singer embroidery machine and just love it! You will get many hours of pleasure from this! Just a few tips to start you off...
join a singer embroidery forum..there are quite a few and you can get help and quick answers when you need help.
get a backup system for your embroidery files..you will start collecting them and soon have hundreds...you do not want to lose them!
there are a couple of embroidery programs you can buy to catalog your embroidery files..worth their weight in gold!
Enjoy your new machine! You can pm me if you ever have a question..or if yu need sources for thread, stabilizer, etc...Good Luck to you! Donna

MimiBug123 06-23-2012 04:21 PM

What a wonderful surprise! I know you will enjoy it. I love my embroidery machine. I also see your Cricut cartridges hiding there. Another scrapper! Isn't it fun to translate designs into both crafts?
