Stop Sign Quilting

I went to a demonstration of the Husqvarna Viking interchangeable dual feet foot and bought it for my new Ruby Deluxe machine. I also learned a few things that my machine can do. I'm not much into embroidery at the moment, but I could be swayed. :) I also bought a new Stitch in the Ditch foot to go on this accessory. It seems to move the fabric a little better and I haven't encounter a pucker yet. They had a new clear quilting foot that I bought, as well. I wasn't sure if I should outline the letters first or SID in the pieced seams, so I just did the short seams inside the letters for now to practice a bit. I've decided that I'm not proficient enough on my HQ16 to quilt it there, I need more control. I finished C-6 of my Dear Jane, I'll get a photo tomorrow. I'll start on A-8, too. I did a little more applique on the latest Dino, looks nice. Worked on Baltimore Autumn, Baltimore Christmas and Baltimore Halloween. I was gone most of the day, so ...

New Sewing Machine or Not

I went to my local Husqvarna Viking dealer yesterday just to get a new piecing foot. I couldn't find mine. :( I knew they would be about $30, but I rely on it so much. Anyway, the dealer is a lovely woman and she talked me into buying a new machine!! In her defense, it didn't take much pushing. The Ruby Deluxe model. It was a lot of money and now I'm having buyer's remorse. What should I do? I haven't opened it yet. Can't seem to move forward on any project because I'm feeling a bit selfish. I should have bought a new refrigerator, a new dishwasher and a treadmill that I REALLY wanted.  Ugh! Or, do I get my Designer SE a good cleaning and try to sell it? Want to buy it? Make me an offer. Pretty please??? Help!!!  I need to call her and tell her today.
