I got one for Christmas. My DH got me the Husqvarna Emerald 183 and I am in LOVE! (with him and the sewing machine!) Thanks for all of the advice and answering my qustions.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

Do you get a free "how to use it" class? Make sure you go if you did.

So, what is your first project going to be? Tiff makes really cute bags/purses. Or pillowcases are easy AND you can use the fancy stitches on the hem for practice!

YAY! Welcome to the "Husky club!"

Just looked it up- GREAT looking machine!

Now get to sewing!

I am not sure what my first project will be, lots of practice still needed. Yep I get 2 free classes which I def. need. I want to play around a bit before I go.

I just jumped right in and started making bags. Didn't even use a pattern. The first one = HIDEOUS. After that I started thinking thru my designs a bit. Get some clearance fabric and play around. You can get remnants for SUPER cheap too. I LOVE the remnant bins!
