    Terrific! I would say it's not going to take you near as long to be "expert" with that as you may think. Looks wonderful!

    I woke up at 4:00 this morning, looked at the clock, and considered getting up and playing with it. :-D I decided to go back to sleep since I have a lot to do today including an hour drive to my son's b-day. Otherwise, I think I would have got up!

    I was going to post a pic of it last night but my camera shut down and I needed to charge the battery.

    It's a little close still with the full size bed in there but I'll have plenty of room when it's out. I want some basic shelves for supplies, tops, backings, etc.

    So happy for you. What features does this have - been eyeing them on the internet? Does this have the channel lock? Did you have to set up the whole thing yourself - any info would be great! Could I ask what you paid?

    I believe it's pretty basic and has a stitch regulator. It doesn't have a channel lock and I didn't think of that when I was looking to buy. I have no experience and it will be a good starter for me that didn't break the bank.

    It cost $5500 and I needed to purchase the 10' steel rails at a home store and they were $7.50 each.

    Yes, I set it up by myself and it took me a few hours each night this week. The machine weighs 47 lbs (I believe) but I was able to get it out of the box and upstairs.
