I expect to see marvellous items coming forth!!!!!

Love and blessings to you Chris

Super fantastic! I would not know what to do with her but you can bet that if I had one, I would be learning in a hurry! I don't get much sleep now because of the computer(and other things) but I would never go to bed if I had this! It would be running 24 hrs a day! I could actually go back in the craft business again! Shoot, I might even be able to get excited about something again. Treat her good and make sure you talk to her just right. Heehee Congrats! Linda

Dankie Babsie.As jy die masjien se prys vergelyk met die nuwe bekende huishoudelike masjiene is daar nie n verskil nie. Inteendeel.

Marthie, you have a wonderful husband - if he gives you this sort of Christmas gift - WOW. I can see that you could start a nice little business with this - it is only in a dream for me. I don't have any suggestions or tips - I have never seen a machine like this - in person - so I wouldn't know what to tell you. Just treat her right and love her every day - happy stitching.

Thank you Shirlene. As I told Babsie, the price for a machine like this is in the same region as the new domestic machines.

You are going to LOVE this machine!!!!!! I have the same machine in the 15 needle, and I love it.
Congrats..Now you have to buy the hooper for shirts ect, and , and , and, it will never end...lol

I am so sorry that I did not get the 15 needle but they are only bringing it in the country now. Please tell me more about the shirt hoop.

mnladyus by mnladyus 02 May 2010

The shirt hoop station I have is call the "Hoop Master" I also got the extension to do the 2x and larger shirts. The price for it here in the states is between $800.00-$1000.00. Depends what options you get with it. I got mine a few years ago when I got my machine. I would not be without it. Enjoy your New Machine, I love mine.

marthie by marthie 02 May 2010

How do you use it on or for shirts?

Congrats, that's some machine you've got there! I love my 4-needle, but this is the ultimate dream. I just don't think I'm worth it as mine is not running all day as it is (or should I say mine are not running all day - I own an old Designer1 and an even older Brother as well).
