I have just spent a fabulous 10days in Johannesburg visiting my family in their new home. My husband stayed at home but developed the flu and was really poorly! Imagine my surprise on returning home to find he had completely revamped my sewing room!!! It took him four days to clear it before painting!(It will probably take me six months to find everything!) but I.m not complaining!! I am so thrilled I can.t believe he did it!!! The room is only 8ftx6ft6in!! :thumbup: :lol:

What a keeper!!! They say that women "speak" their love and men "do" their love.

Actually, that's my model too. I realized after I posted that I got the name wrong. I love my machine too, especially the automatic presser foot lifter. Have fun sewing in your nicely revamped sewing room.
