OMG!! What have I done???

[Grandma G]

I've been debating about getting a new machine for a while. My current machine is just a basic Brother CS6000i which I bought in January thinking it was all I needed. Ha! I hear you all giggling already. That was BQ (before quilting) Anyway, I was tired of struggling to move fabric through the harp on it - for starters. My husband has been trying to get me to upgrade for a couple of months. I've been reading all the posts about machines and researching as much as possible. I had signed up with the Sewing & Vacuum Warehouse about a month ago to receive emails and two days ago I received an email that they were having a sale on several different machines including Janomes.

Long story short (I know, I have a hard time making long stories short) I just came home with a brand new Janome Memory Craft 7700 QCP. I am way beyond excited. I looked at the 8900 and was sorely tempted but I couldn't justify paying the price difference (it was not on sale). The 8900 was $4,000.00 and the sale on the 7700 was $1,799.00. They do all the servicing and repairs on site. There are great reviews online about this dealer so I felt very, very comfortable. And, they are only 3 miles from me!

So, now I need to sit down with my new machine and start the learning curve. Oh, yeah, and give her a name...

Thanks for listening to my babbling. Woo-hoo, I am sooo excited. Oh, yeah, I already said that...

WhooooooHooooo I would be SO excited!!! Hope you kept your other machine as well?? I've 6 (so far) but 1 is only for parts for a very old Elna (those funky Green ones)... so 5 that work. I ALWAYS keep my eye out for Sales and soooo Glad you caught a great one on Sale!!!! Life is so GOOD! oh yeah I can't keep things short either, so what hehehe

Only tip I have is when you piece - start and finish on same machine (nope you know already how I know this one LMBO)... Can't wait for a photo of your new baby and what you name *it*!

Yippie and Great Job nabbing it

I'm so happy for you! What a fun new companion you have to play with! Enjoy!

[Hulamoon]

Yeah!!! Have fun!!

That is the machine I have and I love it! If they offer classes I would advise taking them......sooner rather than later. I was about ready to throw mine out the window when I finally took the class and have loved it ever since.
ENJOY1

Congrats on your new baby. Can't wait to hear what you name her, and see pics of her.

Good for you. I know you will be very pleased with your new machine. In Febuary I bought the 8900QCP at my LQS.
I have a lot to learn yet on mine . I had and still have my Brother Pacesetter that runs just great and a shame to say I haven't turn it on since I got the new one.
Oh I never did name the new one nor the old one. Never thought of a good name .
Anyway I am so glad you got what you wanted. Have fun with it.
