such a great idea. about that machine--- was it super pricey??? i am not interested in $1000s prices.

You can pick up a Brother at Walmart for under $500. I picked my up on clearance because it was last years model for under $300. Mine is also a sewing machine. I mainly got it for a back up machine and I thought that i would probably only use it for quilt labels. Man was I wrong. I have used it a lot. Mine only has a 4x4 hoop. My next one will have a bigger hoop. It has been a great starter machine.

thanks for getting back so quickly. will talk to santa early! :D

Good luck. I hope that Santa gets one for you. You will love it. All of my gift that I'm giving this year are going to be homemade. I you do get it and have any questions just ask. I'll do my best to help.

Ohhh now that is simply awesome!!! What a great gift for mom!!!

No wonder she said no, that is beautiful :!: Your mom will proudly wear her special shirt. :D
