Meet My...

I just wanted to share with everyone my new "toy". I bought this at the end of May, and I just love it. The Sapphire 870 sews nicely. Now I know everyone is thinking why didn't you by a machine with embroidery capabilities? Well.... I just don't use it. My second machine (Babylock) does embroidery and I have never put on the embroidery arm - it still sits in the box. So when I started (2 years ago) to look at another machine, I told myself I just wanted a sewing machine that was "top" of the line before it went into the embroidery world. The Sapphire is just that. It has over 163 stitches that you can manipulate plus a lot of neat touch button "save a step" features, like the automatic cutting feature. With all these features this machine cost a lot(close to 2500.00 dollars) which at that point I really couldn't justify the embroidery version at (4500.00 dollars - which was on sale and the store wanted my other two machines for trade in to give me the price of 4500.00 - WOW machines costs a lot.)
The only down fall - I haven't had enough time to spend with my new machine. I've been busy between stamping, work, home life, garage sale, all my animals, teaching my mother to sew, Father's Day, my husband's birthday, and my Grandmothers 80th birthday. This month has been extremely busy for me.
