Happy Valentines Day !!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!

I got an early Valentines Day gift on Saturday.

A new Brother 1634D Serger and ....

a bunch of threads to use with it. 

He joins my Singer Heritage and my Brother XL-5340.

I have wanted a Serger for years and now I finally have one. Love that now I can serge the edges of my cross stitch fabric and not have it ravel. I tried zigzagging the edges before, but unless I got a real tight zigzag the edges still frayed. 

This one can use 3 or 4 threads and came with a Blind Hem foot (don't see me using that one very often) and a Gathering foot which will be nice for making gathered trim. Lots of things for me to learn after I get comfortable with the basics of the machine.

Well that's it for this post, so until next time .......

Take Care & Happy Sewing/Stitching Everyone

My Early Christmas Present

We never go to the Black Friday sales they have after Thanksgiving and this year was no exception, but my wonderful DH (Dear Hubby ;) decided that we would go to the Thanksgiving Day pre-Black Friday sale that Wal-Mart was having. 

We left the house at 3:30 pm to be at Wal-Mart by 4:00 pm for a sale that didn't start until 6:00 pm. You might ask why we would want to stand around for two (2) hours waiting for the sale to start. 

Well, it was so my Wonderful DH could get me this beauty for my Christmas present.

This BEAUTIFUL Singer Heritage sewing machine is what we waited two (2) hours for.

I was not the only crazy woman waiting there either, there were already two other women waiting when I got there. I was greeted with a, "Are you after the sewing machine too", I said yes, and they replied "well come on over, there are only four machines and and with you three are taken". It wasn't long before we were joined by the final fourth person. 

This machine was a steal at $188.99 since it retails for $599.99.

I just love it, but it is BIG!

Here it is sitting next to my Brother I got back 2002. I could almost hide the Brother behind the Singer.

Wishing you all 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

Take Care & Happy Stitching !
