I am in awe. Happy quilting.

Enjoy your new baby. I envy you. Theresse

awsome!

Im impressed with that extension table for machine embroidery and machine quilting...

Love It. I love my Viking Lily 550...wouldn't trade it for the world.

Very nice.
Happy quilting! :D

Ditto on still not knowing all the functions on my Sapphire after two years! I finally had all three pamphlets (manual, user's guide, and accessories guide) spiral bound at my local copy shop. It's a lot easier to work with, now that they can lie flat!

As for the clear extension table, I bought mine separately for about $90?? A lot of money for a piece of plastic but sometimes very handy, especially during piecing where most of a project can be laid out on the extension table within finger reach.

I have another extension table for my Baby Lock but dearest significant other tossed my tote bag, with extension table and cutting mat inside, onto a chair. Unfortunately, the arm of the chair made it land cock-eyed and the table snapped in two, length wise. Yes, he's still alive but only until I find out super glue, or some other method, won't repair the table. Then he better cough it up, honey!! :hunf:

I've had my Pfaff 7570 for many years and haven't even begun to touch it's bells and whistles. Mainly stays on straight stitch.

Thank you Melinda and QBeth-I don't feel so dumb now that I'm the only one who hasn't learned all the functions and stitches. I sewed on a Montgomery Ward machine for 30 years=it had a knee lever not a foot pedal and a manual pressure foot lifter. It took me 6 months to master those 2 changes LOL. (Sometimes I still reach for the pressure foot lever.)

My DH did without sodas or lunch at work for a great long while to buy me a sewing machine from a shop that was going out of business. Got me the floor model, so it did NOT come with an owners manual, or any lessons...what he brought home was all I got. He loved me so much, and had absolute faith that I could use any machine out there...Oh how this princess in the tower fell...

I had learned on an old treadle machine, side loading bobbin that looked and worked more like a shuttle, not round...you just popped it in, and went...hummed along so nice.

Imagine how fruserated I was at trying to figure out how an electric machine worked, and never did figure out that the reason it kept making knots under, was that I was not "threading the bobbin thread"...

So after about 10 years, I gave it away.
We moved to another country (Central America) shortly after I had given away my love gift...and the new neighbor had one just like it...and she knew the bobbin needed threading and had a real owners manual.

I had to sew by hand for several years, but he did buy me another machine...but this time from a shop that was staying open, and with all the lessons I wanted...

Still feel so dumb?
Personally, I feel like this is the gal who sould be wearing the dunce cap...or sign reading DUMMY.

Do I have to sign my name?
