OMG-----what a DH----Congratulations are in order and have lots of fun!

So...............what's the first thing you are going to make?

Still working on my cottage quilt but when I get that done I am going to play around with some free motion!!! I am bound and determined to get this machine quilting thing figured out to where I am happy with it!

Congratulation.... you are going to have a great time playing. You can tell your husband that he just invested into his peace and harmony.....you will be to busy sewing to bother him. Ha!

And too busy to cook, or clean house, or shop......

Gasp! Not too busy to shop!!!

SHH....he doesn't know about the cookin' and cleanin' yet :lol:

:lol: :lol: And we wont tell him just yet!!! Got to be good for a little while longer!!! :lol: Dont want him to take it back!!!!

That's a great toy! I love Janome machines! I have a Janome Memory Craft 11000 Embroidery/quilt/sewing machine, a Compulock 888 Serger, CoverPro 1000CP coverstitch machine, Memory Craft 4800 sewing machine (which is now listed as a quilting companion) and a Magnolia 7034D serger. A Kenmore machine I bought in 1978 (still in very good working order) was made by Janome. One reason I have the 7034D is because I love to teach teen girls how to sew and this is an awesome machine to start them out on. I love the 11000 embroidery machine because I don't have to take it apart and rebuild the machine every time I want to sew or embroider. I push a button and release the embroidery arm and it is set to embroider. I push that button to release it again and close the arm to sew. I know Bernina and Viking both have great machines with special features, but I definitely am satisfied with my Janomes. I hope you enjoy your Janome as much as I do mine.

Lucky you! What a great sewing machine :D

Wonder if I should take a picture of my baby... what do you think?
