05-14-2015She's home safe and sound!! My (new-to-me) Viking Eden Rose 250C
Hubby and I got up at 8 am this morning to drive about an hour and forty-five minutes to go pick her up. I found an AWESOME deal on Craig's List that I just couldn't pass up! I originally was looking at the Janome 6500p or 6600p, but then found her. Not only was she a great deal, but she's PINK and has a ROSE "tattoo" on her
We stopped on our way home at a Viking dealer store and picked up the Sew-Steady Table (the only place that actually had them in stock and didn't need to be ordered). I also got the interchanable dual-feed foot and the 1/4" attachment, as well as a closed-toe FMQ foot!! Hubby REALLY spoiled me today I really wanted the regular 1/4" edging foot (I believe it's called) but none of the stores had them. I dragged Hubby down to the JoAnn's by our house so I could get the 1/4" attachment foot and I went ahead and had her order the edging foot for me. Oh, and to sweeten the deal even more, at the first store... the lady offered me FREE user classes at the end of August. Even though I didn't buy the machine from them, because I had spent so much money (he he he)... she let me sign up for free!
All-in-all, it was a LONG but awesome day! The lady I bought her from was SOOOOOO nice and helpful! She showed me how to use her, gave me some really helpful hints considering this is my first Viking, and was eager to show me her sewing room... let me just say I'm SOOOO jealous!!![ATTACH=CONFIG]485122[/ATTACH]
