Big Change

Remember that big change that might be coming that I wrote about last week?

It happened! 

Yesterday I went over to Kokomo to pick up my embroidery machine and I came home with a new sewing machine!

I decided to go with a different machine than the one I'd looked at last week, and I am happy with that decision. I've tried it out at home already and I am excited with what this one can do!

While very, very different from my previous machine, so many of the controls are already familiar. 

They are similar to those on my Janome embroidery machine and so I was able to sit down and begin sewing right after I got home as a result.  And, my embroidery machine is all lubed and ready for me to begin my holiday embroidery as soon as I finish with the Feast.

It may sound silly, but it was hard to pack up my old sewing machine and put it into the closet. I felt like I was closing the door on a long and very happy chapter in my life.

And while that may be true, a new door has opened. 

I'm excited to see what this stage of my sewing life looks like.
