I don't know about that!! My machine never curled up next to me to keep me warm when I took a nap!! lol

Enjoy exploring your machine. It is so much fun to find out all it can do.

He really took the time this morning to go over it with me and to be sure I was comfortable with it before sending me off. Hopefully, I made the right choice.

So far, I've made one block (woohoo!) and it's so much easier with the needle down, thread cutter and 1/4" foot!
And the speed control is great for my FMQ...I sometimes get a little heavy on the pedal and my stitches get too small. This is great!

It came with the knee lifter but I'l need a different table to be able to use it.

Yea, you! My 1st machine with needle up/down, speed control and 1/4"foot totally spoiled me for good! Have fun

I'm happy for you! I have a Janome now, but I honestly miss my old Kenmore! She had such a wonderful stitch! I'm sure your new machine will be lots of fun!
