    Default What have I done now!!!!!

    HELP.! What have I done!! I just bought a Brother PE770 embroidery machine off Overstock for $568.99. I already have a Janome MC5000, but it is really old and only takes memory cards and is only a 4x4 area. This is 5x7 and uses a usb stick. I'm getting worried that my Janome is going to die soon as the screen keeps getting darker. The Janome is also a sewing machine so I will use it for that till it dies and I can still use the embroidery on it till it dies too.
    I'm looking forward to looking for designs online and picking what I want and not limited to what is already loaded on a card. I also have seen that you can get designs that would work with the accuquilt applique designs. Not sure quite how that works yet because I had no way of using it before.
    Now to go find the Tums to control the butterflies in my stomach.

    ruh roh! Well congratulations on your new machine! Doesn't it make your tummy go flop when you make a big purchase, then *think* uh oh.... It will be good!! Sounds like your Janome with the screen getting darker is having some issues, so I'm glad you found something you like before it bites the dust! Everyone needs more than one (or 4) truly!!! Hope you found your tums and realize you did good for yourself :-) Enjoy

    What have you done? You've just made yourself one happy woman!!!!!! You will be having so much fun.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
