Here is the "Beast" in all her glory!! You can see where Graycie's bed is and she sleeps right through stitching...that is her little staircase she uses to get up to her bed....Jim had to take the door to the room off when machine was delivered, as it was just barely too wide. I have finally finished my first piece and what a learning curve it has been. I covered up my mistakes (and they were all user errors, nothing to do with the design or machine) with some embellishments....will post in projects........I am thrilled with the machines performance!! I want to thank all of you for sharing this experience with me......smooches to all!!

Oh Vicky I wish you so much fun with your new roomie :o)
I'm sitting here and press my nose against the screen. Yes I have to admit that I'm a little bit jealous ;-)
Greetings, Bettina

Don't be, Bettina, if you have a great running machine it doesn't matter how many needles you have!! I love the speed with which I can get a design done and look forward to learning all the ins & outs of this machine!! Thanks for looking.......huggers

Oh My goodness I think you can embroider the WORLD with this! What a set up! Amazing! So this is how the big girls embroider! Have fun, dear friend! I love Graycie's bed right beside it with her steps up. We have to keep our priorities, right? Hugs, Jan

It is so wonderful to you with a healthy multi-needle machine. Enjoy it to the max. I have a 6 needle and I love it. My husband is insisting that I trade it in if I get a 10-needle. But it is my baby and I want to keep it as a back-up.

I agree.......I thought I would sell the Bernina, but decided it would be a good machine for backup and I also need it to do regular sewing......seams & hems.....

Why, thank you, Glenda........I will get to use all my threads now, as the Bernina would only sew with Isacord......

Thanks so much, Lidia.....she is sleeping in her bed as I stitch right now. Machine doesn't bother her at all........I guess after all she has been through the machine noise is nothing!

My dog is jealous I can drool as good as she does about now. Boy this is so nifty. I am so tickled for you. I would even have to dance with it. By the speedy sound of her needles of course not by holding onto lol. You will be on super go by Christmas.

Thanks, Mary, I hope so.....am stitching out a Christmas scene right now.........it's funny, I am so versed on how my bernina hoops go together and this machine hoops just the opposite....so I get a brain freeze every time I hoop an item.......I end up hooping 2 X's....so should be good at hooping by the time I get it...HA!

Like the machine says, "Bravo!" Glad you didn't have to break out a wall. This is just great! Congratulations!

Wow! Vicki, is that a 16 needle machine? She looks like a real workhorse and I'm sure with all the sewing you do it will have paid for itself in no time at all. Love the idea of the threads on the rack on the wall too. I've got mine hidden in drawers! So happy that your beloved Graycie can be close by as you play with your baby! Love Chris
1 comment
Thanks, Chris, yes, I too am happy she stays in here and doesn't let the new machine scare her, although I suspect it I because she is experiencing hearing loss and it isn't very loud to her......

And what a beast it is. Congratulations and may you have many happy hours. Some years ago Mushu had a bad back and DH made him a step so he could still get on to our bed. Just waiting for you projects now. Huge hugs to you and the pussy cats. Sarah.

Thanks, sweetie.....Jim has repaired these stairs several times, our 15 pounder, Charlie, pushes off on them to get to the shelf above my desk....that is where at least one is usually laying while I work......How is Mushu doing?
