Happy Dancing!!!

A new longarm is in my future!!!
As of today, I am a brand new member of the Innova family!
Esther ~ Threads on the Floor ~ and I spent the day in Yuba City, CA. First we went out to lunch then over to meet with Jim and Nicky at the Sew So Shop. Our California dealer for Innova Longarm Quilting Systems. We played on all of the machines. Asked lots of questions. I made the decision to purchase an Innova.

I've been test driving them for a little more than a year at different quilt shows. Tried out a few others but I kept coming back to the Innova. Decision made! I am relieved and exhausted. After a visit with my mom, some dinner and a quick post, I am ready to unwind, except I keep happy dancing!!!

ETA is the end of February, which sounds like a really long time! It will fly by with preparations to be made and classes to attend so I can hit the ground running. I will spend much of the time working with Kathy to get her up and running on the Gammy as well. 

Esther, thank you for coming along, I am privileged to call you friend! And thanks to Jim and Nicky. What a wonderful day!

  1. Congratulations, and welcome to the family. Esther held my hand - long distance- while I bought my innova too. As far as I know there are only two in New Zealand, noagents or support here. Never mind Michael is just at the other end of the phone. Look forward to hearing about your progress.
    Cheers
    Linda

  5. I am so excited for you! I have tested the Innova as well and they are wonderful. A quilting machine is a long way off in my future. I hope February comes quickly for you!
