About a month ago, I woke up to an email stating that I had won the grand prize from a marketing survey that I filled out. The prize, much to my surprise, was a Janome Horizon Memory Craft 15000. At first I was in complete shock and slowly it turned to denial. Then a week and a half ago I received a phone call from Janome telling me where I could pick up the machine, from my local Janome dealer – South Sound Sewing.
Winning this machine is such an incredible blessing and surprise. It is an embroidery, quilting and sewing combination machine and is even wi-fi enabled. It comes with an iPad mini that has 2 apps which are used to monitor the machine while it is stitching embroidery designs. I have so much to learn. One of the cool things about Janome, is that I come from a Janome family. I learned to sew on my mom’s Janome, I currently sew on a Janome Horizon 7700 and Anne is learning to sew on the same machine.
I thought it would be cool to have all three generations of sewing women together with the machine.
Anne is so excited to try out the new machine, as soon as I sat down to look at the floor model she climbed right into my lap to look too!
My machine is currently sitting in the box, but will probably be set up tonight or tomorrow. I cannot wait to see how she sews!
I think the the dealer, Julie, was just as excited as I was about my win. The cool thing is that I bought my Horizon from her, so I guess you could say I will be a continuing customer for years to come. I’m also very, very glad that they offer lessons on how to use this machine, because I know I will be needing them!
One thing is for sure, this was my lucky day! I truly feel so incredibly incredibly blessed.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!
I’m so happy for you!!! I can’t wait to hear how much you love it! Hugs!
