Guess what Tonya's getting?

Yep, a new sewing machine. Now...before anyone says anything, I know this is not a fancy, expensive machine. I also know it's a Brother. However, it's what I want. So, please everyone be nice and tell me how much you love it. I mean look at my current machine below and tell me this one isn't better.






I even ordered the compatible software to go with it.

"I'm so excited
and I just can't hide it"

Ya'll thought I was about to break out into another song huh?

  3. I had an old Singer and three years ago when I started quilting I bought a Brother off of Overstock. They have great prices on machines. I loved my Brother. I really like the table. I also bought a Janome off of Overstock. Congrats on your machine, you will love it.

  7. Congrats! It's a great looking machine. Can you really look at a finished quilt and tell what machine was used to sew it? I think not!! Quilting is what matters!! Can't wait to see your first project using it!

  9. I fully understand Tonya. I am happy that you are getting to "step up"
    I will give you the advice I got: Keep the old mechanical as a backup. (a backup is always a good idea!)
    My first two computerized machines were Brothers and I loved them. I now have a BabyLock (I think it is the SAME as Brother) And it is one of those expensive machines. I love it too.
    A better machine makes sewing easier and you can get more done in less time. The good thing is, the feet from the old machine should fit on the new one too.

    Have a LOT of fun with the new machine.

  10. You're going to have so much fun sewing on a new machine. Who cares what it is as long as it works for you and does all you expect it to do. I agree with Gene, keep your old one for back-up. Can't wait to see what your first project is on your new "baby". Hugs

  11. YAY...I'm really happy for you!!! Do keep the old machine for back-up....eventually all machines need to go for regular routine servicing and at least you can still sew while the new one is having its "check-up". When will you get the new machine????

  12. That's the machine that I have. I love it. Who cares if it's not expensive? (I don't care for snobs like that anyway. What do they know?) I hope you enjoy your machine!

  13. Happy for you ..upgrades are awesome no matter the brand!!
    I have 2 pals that bought a Brother machines at Walmart back in 2004 that are still going strong now so don't worry about brand or price!
    Just sew sew sew!!!
    Hugs,
    Lola

  15. I should be just happy for you, but I am feeling a little jealous. It has passed. How fun for you. :)

  16. I'm excited for you! Congratulations! What kind of software did you get to go with it? What does it do? I agree with Gene, keep your old machine as a backup.

  17. Cool. Everyone needs a back-up machine or three! Keep the old one. I have my Great Aunt's treadle machine - great for straight stitching and a work-out, and my 1960 Kenmore - heavy metal good for heavy fabrics and my Stinkin Singer embroidery machine.

  20. Tanya, I'm happy for you, I have two machines and one I "borrowed" forever from my mother. As long they sew and you don't have too many problems with them I think any machine is just fine.
    Happy sewing.
    Oh sewing we will go, a sewing we will go Hi! Ho! a sewing we will go. See you could have made up another song. :^)

  22. Hello there Miss Tonya. I bought a Brother just before Christmas and I love it. I was set on a Bernina, but my sewing machine rep, who sells brother, viking and bernina tested the top of each one and the Brother won. So that's what I bought. And it's really nice. You'll enjoy it.
