The sewing machine dealer I like to trade with had a Janome Memory Craft 8000 and offered me a pretty good price for it. I was supposed to pick it up today. I went to the dealership unsupervised, can we say BAD IDEA BOB!

He showed me a Bernina Deco 300. Both are used machines. He told me the Bernina is a 15-20 year newer machine. He showed me how easy it was to touch the screen and get what a I want the machine to embroider. He showed me that it would take much bigger hoops, and such.

Then he made me an offer that was just too good to pass by. He said he wanted to see me have the better machine. He said since I had already bought two machines from him in the last year he would make a deal for me.

He threw in $100 (retail price of embroidery thread), the bigger hoop, a box of extra bobbins and free classes to learn about it.

I just had to bring it home. I'm a bad Bob! But I'm hoping to be a Bob having fun!
