Look what’s arrived!!!! Have some lessons next Wednesday as it’s the only afternoon I’ve got free. It’s the Husqvarna Ruby Royale. The large box is the embroidery arm and some hoops. Looking forward to having a go at it. Love Chris

Thanks so much Barba. I hope it will be similar to the Husqvarna Designer 1 which I previously owned. Love Chris

Have fun.If it is anything like the machine I bought a few months ago ,you'll need another free afternoon to unpack it & set it up. So much packaging,at least the boxes were given to GD who should be moving into her new house at the end of the year.Also you might have to rearrange your sewing room to fit it in.

Hi Judy, the Husqvarna will sit on the sewing table where the Brother is at the moment and then I'll put the Brother back on the cutting table where it sat before. So I don't need to rearrange the sewing room. Love Chris

After the Designer1 the Ruby was easy to use although there are a number of differences. I guess the Ruby Royal will be equally easy. Just unpack and get going!
The larger frame will take up more space than you are used to. I don't use the largest often so yesterday it bumped into some cones of thread.
No harm done as I was only using the placement arrows at the time.
Have hours and hours of stitching fun with it!!

Thanks so much Martine for your input. I'm looking forward to having some fun with this machine. I had years of fun with the Designer1. Love Chris
I skipped the lesson and got an extra discount.
I especially love the placement feature. Nothing beats connecting in the software, but if you have to combine split designs this feature works wonders.

Congratulations on a new baby. Leave lots of room for the big hoop and enjoy all the new things you can make with it. There is nothing more exciting and intimidating than a new machine. :)

Hi Nan, no I haven't as yet. Because Ophelie's middle name is Ruby, I think I'll just stay with that as it is a Ruby Royale! Love Chris
I called mine Ruby Love. You can steal that one if you want!

How awesome. I love my Ruby! Couldn't wait to get it out and start playing. Had to wait 3 weeks for the lessons. Couldn't believe that some of the women in the class hadn't even played with it. Go figure. Have lots of fun with your new machine.

Thanks Kim, me too! I want to make a handbag, but I've been so busy recently babysitting the family as kids have had ballet exams, aerobics championships and sport generally. I've also been doing a Youth Group on a Sunday afternoon and had to go do a Special Ministry training day for lay people last Saturday. Thankfully Trevor is flat out working too so it's all working out well. We've also had all the windows replaced in the front of the house and one back one and I've got a guy coming here in about an hour to give us a quote on Plantation Shutters. Can't wait! I also want to get a Skylight in the kitchen. The days are full! Love Chris
