So ok how on earth did yo do that? Easy. when i joined i realised you gave out cyber flowers. so i decided that for every flower recieved i would put 50p into a box towards the cost of a new utility machine.
Over the months the amount grew and i am now the proud owner of my new janome machine. now my bouquet will be able to flower on my table so a
HUGE HUG AND KISS TO EVERY ONE WHO GAVE ME MY NEW MACHINE.

Annie, CONGRATULATIONS and what a clever idea - if I could have afforded to do that - I think I would be a very seriously happy lady, too. What sort of machine did you purchase and when will we see your first project? *4U

I am just happy that i did not need to put all the money into the box for the flowers but it soon mounted up.

Fantastic idea I do something similar I put all my change in a container. There is a big craft show here in toronto in the fall. I use it to buy thread, stabalizer, material and such. what machine did you get I have a Janome memory craft 350 e and love it. Happy stitching.

What a clever chookie you are (pun intended) I would never have thought to do that.
I'm so glad we were contributing to your happiness and to think we didn't even know it.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

I hate to show my lack of knowledge but what does the "p" in 50p stand for? And how much is that in USA currency? I might need one before to long. I have a Janome 6600 straight sewing (no emb) machine, and I really like it for quilting. Congrats, and happy sewing. GG
