I was in the Poconos in Pennsylvania this weekend, and at Pocono Sew and Vac.  I am coming home with a new machine!


I am SEW excited to be a new owner of the recently announced top-of-the-line Baby Lock Destiny II!!!

Baby Lock Destiny II

Can you see me doing my Happy Dance!?!


I am beyond excited!!

This machine is incredible.  It has the extra large embroidery hoop, camera, IQ Designer and Nancy Zieman designs.  The Destiny II has the first Destiny upgrade already installed.  I can't wait to start working with it.

I've also pre-ordered the AirStitch Upgrade which will enable wireless transfer via their Designer's Gallery software.  Even better that it is Mac-compatible software.  It is expected to come out at the end of the month.

I still love my Brother Duetta.  It has served me well for a number of years.  Never been a problem, and stitches great.  I just wanted the larger embroidery field, latest features and the new technology found on the newest machines.  I went with Baby Lock brand instead of the equivalent Brother Dream Machine 2 because the Baby Lock Destiny II deal I was offered included Baby Lock's Love of Sewing membership which provides four years of service coverage and unlimited access to Baby Lock's Sew at Home OnDemand Classes.  Brother does not have this.  The covered service is important to me since I was buying my machine out-of-town, I can still bring it to my local dealer for covered service.  I decided to go with Nancy Zieman designs found on the Baby Lock this time instead of the Disney designs found on the Brother.  Plus, I wanted to step away from PC software and use my Mac for embroidery.  I only run Windows on my Mac for the purpose of embroidery, so it will be nice to not have to do this.

Lots of new things to see and do coming soon in my sewing room.  :-)

Happy Stitching!
