Finally!

I was getting afraid to touch my new machine, since I was busy while the excitement was still fresh enough to overpower my fear of hurting the very sophisticated machine. But in the last two days, I finally started getting acquainted with it. It isn't as difficult to adjust to this wayyyyyy better machine than I thought. I almost think the embroidery functions are easier than the regular sewing! Now that I have actually used it, I am going to start into classes to learn the ins and outs of it. I'm excited to finally be working up to using it for my projects. :) Good thing, too, with baby's arrival coming up. I have a lot of work to do!

Were you ever afraid of a jump in technology? For me, this was like jumping from VHS to Blueray, lol.

    What kind of machine did you get? Yes I have been very afraid at times but it can be sooooo much fun!

    I have a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 400. It was way on sale, so I bought more machine than I was expecting to get for 10 years.

    Way to go! I'm the type that wants to stay up until 3 AM so I know what is going on with my new toys.

    Okay, I had to look up 'blueray'. Does that tell you anything?? :)... I was terrified of touching my machine and my mother in law showed me how to use it. She'd had an embroidery machine for years.

    lol, yeah, blueray is new. But that's why I thought it a good analogy. I can do a hidden hem on my pants on this machine, even

    even! I had a class yesterday, and am SO excited even for the basic sewing that will be easier.
