Santa Came Early...

Santa did indeed come early...and I MUST have been a VERY good girl because look at what I found underneath our Christmas Tree...

 And what's a girl to do but OPEN it!  Look... she's nestled all snug in her bed, while visions of quilting danced in her head...

   It's a brand spanking new Juki 2010Q and she has come to live at my house!  SEW PRETTY!

I spent a few days test driving her while we waited for the Sure Stitch Regulator to arrive (the Cruise Control from my Pfaff  midarm wasn't compatible)...I discovered that the Juki pieces like a dream!  She goes like stink and her stitches are perfection!  

The big day was finally here with the arrival of the Sure Stitch...this wee blue box of magic!  She regulates the stitches of the machine while on the Grace Frame...I believe they refer to her as the Brains behind the machine!  Whew...that let's me out! :o)

What did we EVER do before the computer?  We found several 'HOW TO Set Up the Sure Stitch VIDEOS' which made it an absolute breeze to set up the encoders, wheels and wires!

                                    

So after a wee test drive...I put on the quilt top that my daughter left behind.  She REALLY wanted to quilt this one herself but the Sure Stitch hadn't arrived, so mama was her next best option!

 Because this is a modern quilt, Erin wanted organic lines...which means the lines are spaced randomly.  (I may have to go over to the bright side because I LOVE this quilt!  I will show pictures of it later because the fabrics are wonderful!  I digress...)

 Oh man, the Juki is sailing through this quilt!  I don't want to jinx anything BUT...(and I am whispering here...) she is stitching perfectly...no issues!!!!!!!

I am coming to the end of the quilt (and she is a big one...about 80" x 80" )and there is still plenty of room in the arm area!  I am in LOVE!!

While cruising along...the doorbell rang...WHAT another delivery!  Can't you tell that I am busy?...BUT for this I will make an exception....Warm and Natural Batting...40 yards of it!  Yup, mama is ready for a loooooong winter!  I say BRING IT ON!

If mama isn't going to JoAnn's, then Joann's will come to mama!  You got to love the Internet!

For sure it's a Super Saturday around here...What about YOU...? Do you have plans for a Super Saturday too?...I'm sending out a great big "HAPPY STITCHING to YOU"!! ~P:o))
