You know it was just meant to be. With all the good work you do God knows you needed this machine to make it easier for you to do the wonderful things that touch others lives in the best kind of way. Teaching, sharing, giving freely of yourself. Enjoy your new machine.

That is awesome. Machine embroidery is a major addiction for me. I dearly love it. I incorperated it into my quilting as well. I have more patterns than I will ever stitch but still love to collect as quilting patterns. You can add so much to your charity quilts just by adding a little embroidery to them. Good luck & so happy for you.

Tears in my eyes too, for this story. I came by my HusqvarnaViking Designer I in about the same circumstances, and caught up on it by Craigs List here in the states--the man's mother died and he inherited all her belongings. He had to go up to Michigan (we are in Tennessee) and bring it all back. She was a quilting/sewing/embroidery teacher and you cannot believe all the stuff that he included with the sale of her machine because his wife didn't want it. I felt so sorry for her memory--that wife didn't want any of her stuff. But I am making up for it now. I think of the lady and thank her every time I use anything of hers--all for less that $1000. When I said to my husband, someone has a nice embroidery machine for sale on CL today; he said "you don't have one?" and when I said no, he kinda flinched and said "I guess that means a trip to Nashville" and I said "yes, right now" and you know the rest of the story.
Anyway, congratulations!!!! Enjoy!!!! And do keep us posted on all your accomplishments on your new machine.
