Enjoy and don't worry. He said to use the fund as you see fit. Two machines is what you did, so be it.

Tell him you bought them and how excited you are to be able to do all the sewing and embroidering for yourself's and for gifts you can do for others. Do the first for him.

After neuroligist appointments, my husbund would chear me up with something... just after a discouraging appointment I told him that I bought a small embroidery machine.. He was happy for me.. and .. glad not to shop. Have used it hard to quilt.. the motor allows me not to use a foot paddle.. love my brother machine ! not much on embroidery.. but the confession came just in time ! 2 hours late it came in the mail !!! confess soon !

HA HA! No need to have to break it to him.... you're his wife, I am sure he will figure it out... my first thing I embroidered was JOHN JOHN JOHN JOHN all the way around... in red thread no less.
