I am 'Happy'. Right place at the right time.<br /><br />

Found a used Happy 12 needle Voyager for sale. Just waiting for the machine to come back from Sydney, having a service before she joins my MB4 in my craft/sewing room. Kinda looks like this picture.<br /><br />
hugs Helen

You will love your Happy machine! I bought a used fifteen needle Happy machine a few years back and it stitches beautifully. I probably should have gotten the twelve needle Voyager, because it is much lighter weight and can be transported much more easily. Mine is like 240 lbs, so it needs to stay where it is put!! TOO heavy to move easily and was almost too wide to get through the doorways to my sewing room. My husband and his friend that were carrying it told me to please be sure of where I wanted it placed, because they did NOT want to move it again!! LOL
Happy you have a "HAPPY"!
Hugs, Angel

Pauline, I am hoping to get one of the hoops he has advertised for the Happy. Have not tried his threads yet.

I bought 18 reels of his threads last month & they sew out just like the expensive threads.The white bobbin fill is good too.Now the find a clear plastic box to keep them in.

I am so "happy" to hear from you and so "happy" about your new machine! I laughed when I read, you told your boss you needed some time off to play and got no response. Just wish I could go play with you! I would be happy to watch you stitching with this. Good luck with it-Toogie

So on Monday a very worried 'Boss" said he needed to talk to me abut a comment I had made. Ha. He said we are going to be very busy over the next couple of months as was I serious about taking leave. Told him I was not ready to retire.

Hi Suzanne
She is a very strong workhorse and has had very little use. Just waiting (not very patiently) for her to come back from Sydney.

I saw these machines at the Atlanta Quilt and Sew Expo. Impressive! I can't imagine why someone would trade it in or get rid of it unless there was a later model out. Do you have a dealer near you so you can take lessons? What format of embroidery does it use? Happy will make you happy! Kay
1 comment
by moyed 22 Jul 2015
Kay, this is not a trade in. Our local Janome dealer is closing down and this is one of the machines they used in the shop. It uses DST format.
I don't think I will have a problem as I found my MB4 very easy to use. This will be a breeze. fingers crossed.
