Gail O Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Got the phone call at work today . . . a Milli with my name on it will be at the border @ 7:00 AM tomorrow. That could be 4 or 12 hours away, depending on the border crossing. Can't decide if it's that Christmas morning, or I just broke something of my Mother's, feeling. Both carry their own brand of anticipation. I've been sewing since I was a kid (eons ago) and quilting for about 8 years (hand, DSM); lurking here while I saved for my toy. I'm married, Construction Project Manager by day, quilter, gardener, cook, golfer, cleaning lady, and finder of things, the rest of the time. Thanking you in advance for all of the help that I will surely need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PamelaA Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Gail, Welcome to the land of LA. You have come to the best place for ideas, problem solving, and friendship. We love pictures but don't let the really high achievers intimidate you. We all have been newbies and some (me) haven't progressed much further.

CWBowser Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Congratulations. I know when they called me two years ago and said that the machine would be coming the next day and if tractor trailer trucks were allowed down my road ( which they are not) I did what I had to do and lied and said it would be fine. I couldn't wait to put it together. Get your fabric ready so you can practice. Watch the dvd and follow the manual because it is fantastic. Follow each step and you will have the machine together in no time. Good luck. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
