Hope you enjoy your lesson. I have been to the long arm machine 3 times now, and have enjoyed it. I will never purchase a long arm machine, because I don't have a place for it. Also, I have a great long armer who does wonderful work for me and is very reasonable in price. I have gone because it is fun and challenging to learn a new skill. Plus I appreciate my long armer ever so much more now! Enjoy your gift!
