New Sewing Machine

I took my Viking in to get repaired today because I'm having a bobbin problem that I've had in the past. Unfortunately, my husband wouldn't let me buy a new Pfaff Creative Vision. Our LQS is having a huge sale because of a special guest instructor is here for the week. That is the machine I really wanted. Well, he said that I couldn't spend the money, so I took mine in to get fixed. He had told me that I could get a machine if it was less that a certain amount, which wasn't reasonable for a new machine. I found a used machine today at the LQS that does everything that I need and more and it was within my budget!! I couldn't believe it. So, I now have a Pfaff 2140, which is an older model, but the software has been updated to the 2170. I now have to take some owner's classes, so I can learn how to do everything on my machine. I did a little sewing on it earlier tonight. It is going to take some getting used to. It is different than my Viking.

I'm still working on the Bargello quilt from the class this weekend. I was working on it when my machine broke on Sunday. I'm almost done with it, so I'm getting excited. It is looking really good. It is only a wall hanging, so it shouldn't take me much longer to get it done. I'm also still working on the double delight. I'm hoping to get that completed soon. I'm sick of looking at all the pieces on my table. I need to get it done.

I also want to get started on my western show shirt. When my machine broke I thought about starting on that. I just don't like having all these UFO's laying around. When I start a project I really want to see it through instead of putting it away for another day. I just don't like trying to start an old project after a long period of time. So, I will keep working on these two quilts and then make the shirt. However, show season is just around the corner.
