    Finally all the researh is done and I got it ordered. I won't have it delivered until July because I still arranging the basement and had to get my vendor's permit along with getting the insurance company taken care of and all that good stuff. I did get a show special so it was a really good deal. Now to finish getting ready.

    If I stitch fast enough does it count as aerobic exercise?

    Woo Hoo...I'm so excited for you!

    I'd love to have one...but that just doesn't seem possible for at lease several years...so, can I just live vicariously through you? Wink

    LoL, Kathy

    Thanks Ladies, I am pretty excited but need to hold it down till I finish getting the area set up for it then the delivery and set up of the machine and THEN I CAN PLAY!!!!! I did get the hydraulic lift which is a pretty expensive addition but is suppose to be very good for bad back problems which I have. I talked to serveral people who have this feature and have bad backs.

    ETA and fix the typos, I am more excited than I thought. Big Grin

    Congratulations! Got mine used in January and was kind of intimidated by it for the first few months! Then went to MQX and took some classes, came home and started to play around with it. I am on my fourth quilt now and I am so addicted! It's like reading a good book, I just can't wait to finish it to see how it will turn out. I used to sleep late in the mornings (relatively), now I am up at 7 every day to allow myself time to sew on it. I am working on my first "real" customer quilt that I am actually going to charge for. I am so nervous about it, I know my customer is shall we say, detail oriented?? One of my panto rows is a little too close...but I think it will be OK.

    Congratulations on the longarm purchase. I didn't realize how much fun I could have until I purchased mine. Now you will have no excuse on why your tops aren't quilted.

    Hold on, you are in for the ride of your life,

    djnur,

    You need to test drive them. I ended up test driving 3 different brands and all of the Gammill's before I decided which one. It is a personal preference amd what I think feels good in my hands might not feel good to you.

    Curious minds want to know - when's the delivery date? Will we hear from you for a month or so after the delivery or will you be too busy playing?
