On Monday I bought myself a new Janome 6500P from my relatively LQS. Janome is replacing this model with another so my LQS had them on sale. Sad part is I'm so busy I won't get any decent sewing time in until April.
I have a day job...secretary. I also bartend/waitress a couple nights a week during the winter months. I told DH that I'm saving my bartender wages and tips and getting something for me. I'm doing serious looking into a machine quilting frame. Last week I had phoned up my relatively LQS inquiring what frame they had set up in the store as I want to see the various frames set up and test drive that are available around here in person. The owner of the store told me I would not be happy with any frame with my current sewing machine.........I bought it from him 3 years ago. So that's how he sold me a new one!!!
The larger harp in my new machine makes me wonder how I ever machine quilted my queen/king size quilts before!!
So I"m hoping to get myself a machine quilting frame in the spring. DH and I made a deal..I have to have the rumpus room ( where it would go) cleaned up before I can buy one. It needs to be done anyway, new machine or not. Wish I had more time right now to get going on it.......cleaning, painting, steam cleaning rugs etc.
Ann.........who is off to the bartending job tonight
