OMG someone pinch me, I did it, I bought my 15 thread industrial embroidery machine. I have never in my life spent that much money on myself so I kind of had a little anxiety attack (never did that before either lol). Thanks to a lot of encouragement from so many cuties and other friends, I decided it was time to go forward and quit dreaming about it and DO IT. So it is done, I will go Monday for my training and it will come home with me on Monday. This machine is apparently a real work horse and I have seen it in action. Boy will I be able to produce now, just hope my brain can keep up with the machine lol.

So pray that things go well and that the orders continue to come so I can pay this baby off. Thanks to cuties who have given me the push I needed.
hugs
Michelle

Good for you Michelle. I have a relative who would take her large industrial machine down to the markets. She would do people's hats and shirts while they waited. One Saturday morning earned $2000. in the Mall in Adelaide.

I Felt the same when I purchased my first big machine, however the pleasure it has given me is unmeasureable, I have done many private orders and actually earned my money back with in 6 months.. now I worry that if anything happens to my baby.. perhaps I should invest in another as a spare lol what do you think :-),
Also I have not touched my 3 smaller machines since purchasing my big one, However I cannot let them go
Big hugs from London

Thanks Jan,
Nice to see you, I have enough business now for the output I can handle with my ruby so I figure if I advertise a bit, the orders will follow, or at least I hope so.

Happy for you! I missed the earlier post so I am in the dark as to what you bought. Tell us all about it. What brand. etc. I walked into an embroidery shop ,once that had the biggest thing I had ever seen. I think there were 10 heads or more . It went across the whole room. The lady did sports uniform among other things. I think the schools keep her busy. Are you working out of your home? Kay

They have some monster machines for sure, but for a home based business this will do. Here is the post of what she looks like http://www.cuteembroidery.com/9434490_cuties-posting-info-new-machine.html
