New Machine

So after agonizing for what seemed like months (oh wait it was months) I finally bought a new sewing machine last week. I went with a Brother even though I had originally been planning on getting a Janome, and I also spent more then I had originally planned too but so far I am happy. So this is my new machine a Brother Innov-is 80

And int the last week I have been able to finish a lot of little sewing projects. I know I shouldn't be surprised (and yet I still am) at how much faster a project goes when I don't have to fight my machine every step of the way and unpick half of what I sew to re-sew it again. I do much less unpicking now and all of the little problems I have run into have been user error so far. I am still playing it with it quite a bit so I'm not yet ready to give it a full review yet. Here are some pictures of things I've done so far.

Table Runner. I bought this material when my sister was up in Sept and have finally gotten it sewn into something. Still needs a boarder of some sort but since it's a Fall runner I have some time.
I'm also working on a couple more Market Skirts which has turned into a good learning experience for this sleep deprived mommy.
Now I am just anxiously awaiting my material order to start on a 2 new skirts and a pair of jeans. Look for more soon.
