YAY SEWING MACHINE! :D I'm so happy for you. When I got mine I was ecstatic. It even does funky bits of embroidery, which I almost never use, but it's nice that they're there, anyway. :P But before that we were using my mom's ancient Singer that is so old it's black and only goes backwards and forwards. I think it's just one step up from nonelectrical foot pedal. :P
