OMG! OMG! We actually did it!

Yes, we went out and bought a new sewing machine! On credit, of course. We bought a new Janome 7700. These have just been released within the last few days, and it seems to have all of the features I like so much on my Pfaff. The Pfaff is now 7 years old and has a lot of miles on it. It's starting to show its age. Anyway, the new machine has a much larger space between the needle and the body of the machine ( called the "harp", but I have no idea why). This means that it's a longer machine and won't fit into my cabinet, so we had to order a table to use with it. We got a price break by buying them together. So now we live on KD for the next two years--between teeth and sewing machines.
