    Grace Stitch Regulator
    Bungee Clamps
    QuiltCAD Quilting Pattern Software
    Grace Gooseneck Lamp and Brite White Bulb Combo
    Grace Start Right Cloth Leader Set
    Organ Needles for Juki TL98 Series Machines
    20 Quilt Machine Metal Bobbins
    2 Boxes of Thread
    40 Universal Needles for my regular sewing machine (I needed some anyway)

    Pressing that button was skeery. Whew. I'm normally super-thrifty, so I'm kind of freaked out. LOL! But that's a lot of money that took ages to save up. :shock: My "piggy bank" sure is scrawny now. I did find a coupon code that took $100 off the price, and got free shipping ($174 value), so that helped a lot!

    Now that the skeery button has been pressed, I can't wait to get everything! :lol: Hopefully in a few days I'll be able to quilt all these quilt tops that have piled up, and not have to struggle with my regular sewing machine! :mrgreen:

    I hope our bank doesn't spazz out when that gigantic amount comes through. Hubby went this morning to transfer the money, and told them to expect the transaction. Our bank has a super-picky fraud system, which is good to some extent, but a few months ago they locked down our account when we made two $100-ish purchases at Walmart within about an hour (groceries & a DVD player that was paid for separately in the electronics department). Grrr! Crazy, huh? It was on a weekend, and we couldn't get ahold of them until Monday to confirm that yes, the transactions were legit. Luckily we had some cash onhand, but it sure was frustrating. Anyway, hopefully with the advance notice, everything will go through okay! :)

    Wheeeee! I'm so excited! :thumbup:
    congratulations! this is so exciting - you must let is know when everything is set up and you are using it!

    Good someone else to learn using everything with. PM me so we can learn the QuiltCad together, just got my setup in early May and am learning new things everytime I use it. Hint: Join the Juki Yahoo Group and the Grace Yahoo group. Good information there (search the archives with questions).

    WOW! How wonderful for you, you must be sooooo excited! I'm excited for you - LOL! When you dream, and search and compare for so long, getting your dearest wish is scary too. Please share some pictures after you get all your new goodies!

    I can't wait for you to get it. I bought a Juki a number of years ago and got a Grace frame this year and I love it. Have fun.
