[quote=SewExtremeDoug, you will love cranking out on your FW. I have had mine for a short while. I have quilted on it and have made a size 3 dress for GD and an apron with my GS. It is sewwww great for traveling too ;-) :!:[/quote]
Thank you SewExtreme: I'm really looking forward to it. I've often wondered how to take my machine with me as I travel frequently. Now I have a way!! Woo Hoo!! I'm really looking forward to it.

Here I am to the Rescue!!!!

Lets see if it is here:

Billy: Did you see the pics of my new baby? I'm anxious to hear what you think. I also posted a pic of the fabric I sewed on so you can see what I was talking about yesterday. Any new advise or stick with what you said. I haven't had a chance to tinker with her yet today other than to take her out and take her pictures.

That 99k looks just like mine, except mine is in better condition.[/quote]

How beautiful yours is. Did you pay $99,999.99 for it :shock: ;-)

Sharon,

Thank you for the heads up about the needle and thread in this machine....this is the opposite of my FWs so I will need to keep this in mind when I start sewing with it....
