IT'S OFFICIAL

It's Official! I purchased my new sewing machine...Bernina QE440. It was such a good bargain that I couldn't resist. The trouble is, I had to place a special order for it and it can take 2-3 weeks to receive it. Grrrrr! I am getting frustrated having no machine. I want to start my first quilt but can't seem to make it happen. :(

In the mean time, I will start cutting my fabric into 2 1/2 inch strips.

A big thank you to all who have made comments to my first post.

Good for you. I was so excited when I got my machine. I can't imagine how I would have felt knowing my new machine was on it's way, but then having to wait weeks.

Congratulations, I got the 430 last year and I love it! I spent weeks showing everyone the brochures and pictures waiting to pick mine up. Then I pulled out every unquilted top in the house and went to town. You are going to have so much fun.

Congrats on your new blog! I just started a week ago, come by to see me too! I have sold Berninas for 4 years, the best machine ever. I love BOTH of mine! Be sure to take all your free classes to get the most out of it. The embroidery is a ton of fun too---you REALLY want to take classes for that. Your first quilt is so special--be sure to keep it for you, this one is important. Years later after many quilts it will still hold a place in your heart, and you will be able to see yourself improve! Good for you!
