what a great hubby! (and not OT!)
It appears that hubby has felt bad that i did not get the pfaff this
past fall. Last night, he offerred to go with me to see the Husqvarna VIking 870 that I did like...and to "perhaps find it a new home here". I'm in a bit of a quandry. part of me is hollering "OH YES! Lets go!" but the more sensible part of me is saying ..."you have a perfectly lovely viking 350 and a very nice babylock ellure"....in short, while the 870 does have some things i would love.....i don't think i can justify it. call me crazy???

I'll call you crazy! Everybody needs a back-up machine! And it's nice,
if you do more than one project at a time, to have them set up on different machines.

Give it a try, expand your horizons, try the zigzag well...here's the follow up. did the grocery shopping today with hubby and nate. they then dropped me off at the lqs while they ran an additional errand. i needed to pick up some supplies for a garment sewing class i am taking there, starting next friday. They are a bernina dealer, not a viking dealer. The owner lured me into the back to look at a classroom Aurora 450. Beautiful condition. sews like a dream. was a reasonable price FOR THAT MACHINE (still more than the viking 870...). Shortly after Hubby and Nate came in. long story short....I did not feel comfortable writing a check for that amount,and was ready to leave with a "he's hungry, we;ll go home and think about it". But, we put it on layaway! and, until it's paid in full, i can use it at the store for the class I am taking. I'm sitting here stunned. just stunned. Never did I think I would own such a machine!

HoooBoy! Hot dog. Betsey, you just got the best of both worlds. Not only
do you have a wonderful sm but you have the chances to yell "Where is the @#! (whatever)" and the dealer right there to show you. Mmmm. My goodness. There are a few of us 'Nothing sews like a Bernina' folks here and we do love our sm(s). I looked at the Bernina chart to see the comparison of the 440QE and the 450. Looks like the 450 will do a 9mm wide stitch which is nearly twice as wide as the 440QE. That will come in handy one day. I think the BSR is standard with the 440QE and an option with the 450. Some of us have it and mostly don't bother to use it; it's a personal choice. So. Happy dancing for you. What wonderful news. Polly "betsey" wrote in message ...
