eXcellence love!

I did it. Bought THE machine. At least I hope it will be THE machine for a very long time. The Elna 740 eXcellence. Big decision...huge purchase...I"M IN LOVE...Not only with the machine, but also with my very supportive M.A.N.  He asked to see my used car when he came home today (ha, ha, ha)!

I decided on this machine because of all the features it has and came with. LOTS of feet, big harp and throat for quilting and she hums. She is beautiful.



My first project is this little bag created by Anna over at thimbleanna.com. She has a couple of great tutorials and this one allowed me to use a few of the plethora of feet this beauty came with. Sadie started 6th grade today(middles school) and this will be for whatever useful purpose it can serve.

I love that I can personalize items now.

Oh boy, too many projects to make.  Now if I could just lock myself in the house for a week!

    So glad you made the purchase. Your bag is beautiful! Sadie will LOVE it! I have resigned myself to being okay with not sewing for an undetermined amount of time/years. I know that I will be able to do it in the future, after this phase of life. I miss it, but love to be able to see all the things my talented friends create:)
    This post was a great break from my homeschooling day (did I mention that I am homeschooling a 14 year old 9th grade boy...)!
