I have been trying my hardest to avoid the sewing machine store because I just know that I will want the Janome Horizon 7700. Well I went to a jewelry store that was having a pandora event (why doesn't Pandora have a sewing machine or spool of thread or more artsy charms?) and what do you know....the store was in the complex that is home to my favorite sewing machine shop. I HAD to stop...I HAD TO. I walked in an my eyes were immediately drawn to the beauty of the red Horizon. I was hoping that the demonstration would not be as good as it was, I know that sounds terrible, I didn't want to WANT this machine. However I do want it. The only thing that probably saved me from taking it home was when I walked into the shop there were only 20 minuets left till closing time. The machine is $3000.00 which to me is "steep" however, if I traded my beloved 4800qc in it would bring it down to $2199.00 plus tax of course. I have been thinking about this for several days. Thinking and thinking and thinking. This is pretty much a normal process for me when I am going to purchase something that is what I consider to be a good "hunk of change." I really don't want to trade in my 4800 but I also don't want to pay $3000.00 does that sound crazy or what?! I guess I will sleep on it a little while longer. I have read many reviews of people who love it and people who hate it. Anyone out in blogger land own this machine? I'd love to chat!
Just wanted to thank you for your comments on my blog today. It's alway nice to meet other quilter's and share ideas. As for the machine, can't help you there, I have a Brother 1500D and love it. It too was a bit over my budget, but, a girl has to do what a girl has to do. lol
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to following your blog and your updates on the machine.

Sandy....sorry if it appeared that I WAS ON PROZAC when I was leaving the comments, I couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up :) I have never sewn with a brother but I do hear that they are wonderful machines. I agree with you a girl does have to do what a girl HAS to do and that will be my defense :)
