Hi everyone, it's been a bit hectic around my house of late. We've been loosing power due to storms in the area. Our main power cable burnt in two. Appliances are breaking so having to replace them. Mowing grass on days not raining. All the rest of the chores one does around a house. Whew!!!! Anyhow I decided I needed to update my sewing machine so I now have a previously loved Quattro! It's new to me and that is all that counts.

So sorry about all the storms Leah. I do hope you have a surge pprotector for your sewing machines. I've got a Brother Quattro and love it, although it's a big machine to move around. Love Chris

Enjoy your machine. Your time spent with it is "therapy". So be sure & spend lots of time with your Quattro! Enjoy & stay dry.

dragonflyer, I know all of us on here would gladly share our rain with everyone in California. I'm not complaining. I'm just tied of the water coming into my basement and all the hassle that entails when one has a finished basement. Thank heaven the machine wasn't in any of that mess. Thanks, am praying for rain to start for the West coast. hugs

You will mow a lot faster now knowing that Quattro is waiting inside. We had 8.25 inches of rain in 1 day, creeks ran out of their banks and people were catching fish in their front yards. The weather is just crazy everywhere this year, stay inside and sew, I hope the power cooperates

With 3 acres...we've had 5 and 6 inches at a time. I'd rather be catching fish in the front yard then having to clean up a finished basement; that sounds like such fun! As the song goes, 'Whatever will be; will be'
