Sew Journal: My 1st Sewing Machine

OMG! OMG! OMG! My hubby is the greatest. He bought me a sewing machine (insert scream here). I know right? I have been wanting a sewing machine since forever. I had been hinting to him since my birthday back in March, I guess he finally got the hint (it only took 5 months) lol. He bought me a Brother CS6000i, top notch here. I am so anxious to use it, but sine I am a bit of a penny pincher I want to make sure I know what I am doing so I won't waste material or time. So it has been sitting in the box for 3 weeks now. I'm dusting it off soon and I will be making my first project.

Let's get into the specs of the machine. It has:

*        60 built in stitches

*        7 styles of 1-step auto-size buttonholes

*        quilting table

*        hard cover 

   

It comes with:

*        Buttonhole Foot

*        Overcasting Foot

*        Monogramming Foot

*        Zipper Foot

*        Button Fitting Foot

*        Bobbins (3)

*        Eyelet Punch

*        Needle Set

*        Seam Ripper 

*        Cleaning Brush

*        Wide Table

*        Screwdriver

*        Spool Caps (3)

The price for this bad boy is $139.97. I know what you all must be thinking, I'm crazy for getting such an expensive machine as a beginner. I feel that if I'm going to have it for a while then it must do all that I need and more. Plus I know I'm a penny pincher and all, but I do believe in quality over quantity when it comes to certain items and a sewing machine is one. I cannot wait to finally use it and see all it has to offer. I will be back with a review soon. Let me break it in first.
