Sassy, My New Best Friend

Sassy is my brand-spanking new Janome Memory Craft 6600P
sewing/quilting machine that I received for Christmas and OH MY
GOODNESS, she rocks!!! I have been sewing on a Huskystar 219 which
works perfectly fine for basic piecing but gets a little wonky for
heavy duty sewing.

Here are a few of my favorite things about the 6600:

- a knee lifter that raises the presser foot

- an automatic bobbin winder

- an automatic needle threader

- 13 included presser feet

- an easy to understand user manual

- custom stitch programming

- pretty much any decorative stitch you could dream of (patchwork, applique, quilting, etc.)

- twin needle sewing (i don’t know why i need this, but i’m sure i do!)

- pretty green lcd display

Of course I had to play with my sewing machine before we
left, so last night I made Kate a scoodie (scarf/hoodie combo) to keep
her ears and neck toasty. Plus, it was a great test run of the sewing
machine!
