Lorchen--
Nope... I have a new Bernina QE 440 from last years Tax Return. ... I promised hubby no new fabric til I finished his quilt..
He finally figured out... If new fabric comes in the house I put aside his quilt and started working on a new project.... Can't help it he picked the pattern and the fabric and they are just not my colors or style.
I MADE NO PROMISES about new THREAD, SIZZORS, NOTIONS, FEET / GOODIES FOR MY SEWING MACHINE, CLASSES OR QUILT DVDs OR working out of my fabric stash on new projects.
I just promised I would not buy NEW fabric and put his quilt on the back burner again.
I did play with the idea of an emboidery module but I did not like machine embroidery when I had my SINGER FUTURA ... I thought it was BORING... so I nixed that idea. I WILL NEVER get a long arm because my DH would have to move out in order to move it in.... Besides I work on my feet all day the thought of sewing on my feet all evening makes my feet HURT!!! My domestic machine work is improving and fun to do.... so I will stick with that.
TQS and all my other DVDs are how I keep my sanity when hubby and family are watching sports, or playing video games.
I have gotten into pod cast and I am thinking of taking a computer tech class at adult education on learning how to pod casts, video cast YOU TUBE ETC.
THAT WOULD BE A HOOT....
