I did it!
My excuse for a new sewing machine happened last week. I have been using my brother's, thank you Justin, since I began this new hobby last year. I was so lucky to have it so I won't complain. Instead, I will list all of wonderful things my new machine, the Janome Memory Craft 3000 does do. Lucky for me, Katie did all of the legwork researching machines and reading reviews for me. She bought hers last year after her machine died. Well, I have been coveting it since, and finally I covet no more. 
10 Reasons why I love my new machine. In no particular order.
1. This lovely cover. I can even kinda get away with not putting this away.
2. The screen tells me what stitch I am using, the foot I need, and the tension recommended.
3. Many many stitches to chose from.
4. I have all the feet, including a button hole foot.
5. There are a few cute embroidery stitches, those will have to wait to be used.
6. Automatic button hole maker. Just one button, and done.
7. Blind stitches, no more hand sewing!
8. I can see the bobbin at all times. No more sewing without thread.
9. This is pretty quiet. I can sew right through Lost.
10. It was a great price, and from what the reviews say, a great machine.

congratulations- although i will miss the extra hang-out time when you'd come over and sew your button holes . . .
Good heavens I've missed a lot. So much Brooklyn Bean activity that I must catch up on. Hip hip for the new and improved sewing machine. I can't wait to see what you make me next.
