DON'T WANT AND DO WANT

So here is the DO WANT PART...
This was my old machine,
a Singer 257...



Simplicity itself...

With these two controls I made many Quilts...

the back of my machine was yellowed with the heat...

Rest in peace Singer 257 after giving me 15 years good service
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then came the Bernina,
what can I say,
another 15 year stayer...

Rest in peace Bernina 1090S
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is Annette's machine,
I used it to see if I liked Janome enough to buy one,
this is her NEW machine, I was using the OLD one...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here it is then, my new machine, delivered today, thrown in the door
by the super delivery man who delivered my pizza boxes...
Hubby said if it weren't broke before it is now...

Luckily it wasn't...

its cover - I have taken piks of everything
for those of you who want all the details...

mini extension table and hidey hole for attachments...

the latest feet [brought out in August 2009],
bought at NEC along with the machine -
must haves for me -
£39.00 for the three...

All these feet supplied with the machine...

and these bits and bobs...

here it is - sorry not a good picture is it,
can you see it is too big for my table -
got to have a rethink about this...

close up for you...

Hopefully I will get the hang of it one day
Welcome Janome 6260QC
a new era begins for me

AND NOW THE DON'T WANTS

these are patterns I bought as must haves an age ago,
thinking what to do with them....

my days of mini quilts are well and truly gone...

various patterns, middle one coloured with age, it is signed by designer...

these next ones are by Pat Cox,
I just HAD to have them,
will I make them?
Nah...

Same designer, same answer...

Big ideas all those years ago.
