They did the cutest lamb pillow I've ever seen with the ears and eyes and top portion of a lamb's head "peeking" over the edge of a pillowcase. It was so cute. Figures it all comes down to sheep again in the end.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14501381115729933188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930736204506766194.post-50506395787158370542009-10-20T11:38:03.915-07:002009-10-20T11:38:03.915-07:00It only makes sense if you were going to make mone...It only makes sense if you were going to make money with it...but you would really have to crunch the numbers. What could you make with it to sell at a high enough price and in a large enough quantity to justify it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930736204506766194.post-26502352143544280342009-08-21T09:42:53.532-07:002009-08-21T09:42:53.532-07:00I am with you, girl!

I still wouldn't mind having a used embroidery machine but it has to be affordable so if it dies, I won't feel like all is lost. <br /><br />The serger is really what I'm wanting the most. It was just fun getting totally distracted!Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14501381115729933188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930736204506766194.post-15556944384445845042009-08-19T18:20:18.081-07:002009-08-19T18:20:18.081-07:00If I (was insane and) bought a Viking Diamond, I&#...If I (was insane and) bought a Viking Diamond, I'd be one of those gals who upgrades to the latest/greatest every time they called me. It would be awful. Not to mention what it was do to my marriage.<br /><br />My hobby is not worth $8K on one machine. I would not go into debt for it, either.<br /><br />That being said, I would never judge anyone who decided to plop down their money for a Diamond. It's just not for me.<br /><br />Look at it this way...even if you bought it and just kept it without upgrading...how many years would it take for the motherboard to fizzle and die on you? My friend owns a Pfaff 7570 and after 12 years, the motherboard died and it was going to cost her $700 to replace it. She originally paid $6000 for the machine to begin with! No way is that going to happen to me.<br /><br />I'll stick with the mechanicals and just live vicariously through you, Jami (with the long "a").<br /><br />Let me know when you bring that baby home. Sorry this is so long. Take care.Donna Hodgsonhttp://www.donnahodgson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
