with 68 spools of thread and the very best part! The 3 cd's from Sick with 17,730 embroidery designs. i'm playing with that next. So I'll be here the rest of the day just catching up. i haven't been able to embroider since before Christmas. Will post some projects tomorrow.

Enjoy your new machine!

Way to go Bev! I just love this machine, but I have to admit,I was a little intimidated at first.
Just curious,..how can you post projects so soon???
Ha,Ha,.... actually, I am STILL playing! Would you believe (blush here...) I just finished my treetop FSL angel. I think I am going to be given a "failed grade" if I don't pick up soon!!! :-(
I'm so happy for you.
Hugs, Nadyne

My new machine is here! But now I have to be patient and let it get warm after being in single digit temps the last several days while it made its way here. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!

Way to go Bev.!!!carolyn

I ordered this same machine and now am waiting impatiently for it to arrive. I have been putting off some projects so I can use the bigger hoop. When it gets here I will be "unavailable".

brother PED basic. A bit confusing but i have my son nearby and i just ask him Show me again. And again!
LOL
Bev

Oh Wow! How exciting that must be! Does it have that wonderful NEW smell? Did you get to unpack it and everything??? I'm so jealous.... Remember to keep breathing and come up for air once in a while! It's probably a good idea to eat something now and then, and you probably should go to bed at least for a few hours tonight...... and remember you have a family too..........
