I have a new toy! It’s a Brother LB-6800 embroidery and sewing machine and I already freakin’ adore it! I bought it on eBay for $299.95, about $150 less than new. Technically, it’s a refurbished machine but it was actually new in box and had all the original sealed by manufacturer packaging – it even had that factory new smell, if you know what I mean.
It’s official – I now own as many sewing machines as I own computers! This pretty much replaces my ~20 year old plain jane straight stitcher and my ~10 year old overlock/serger, it can do everything those can do plus sooooo much more – and automatic needle threader! ♥♥♥ Of course, I’ll keep my other two sewing machines, especially the serger!
To make room for it, of course, I had to rearrange and clean and declutter the crafts room at least somewhat … Someday Soon™ I’ll get around to doing a “proper” organization/reorganization of my craft room but for now, this is a major improvement!
Take a wild guess what the first thing I embroidered was! Ignore the random stitching on the edges, was playing with the various built-in stitches on my new toy!
