I think that you will be very happy with Sapphire 375.  I have the Sapphire 350 and it is my "main machine".  I believe Pam/NY has the Sapphire 375 and that she loves hers too.  I especially like the fabric sensor that sets the machine for the right amount of pressure, etc. for the fabric you are using - but you can over ride it too!  Also, the automatic presser foot that spoils me (so that I forget to put the foot down before sewing on another machine!), and the needle down/up selector.  Please let us know how the relationship is going?  Congratulations!

Glad you found the perfect machine for you.  Congratulations and many years of stitching happiness.  Enjoy -- and don't feel guilty.

I have this machine and absolutely love it! You sometimes think you want all the fancy gadgets...but, reality is...you don't use them! Enjoy it and name it!

Congratulations 3boykinsmommy on your new love.  I wish you 2 much happiness! I have a Viking Emerald, probably the baby sister to yours.  Pretty basic machine but a good little workhouse who meets my needs- for now.  When I read your blog I agreed with selling your old machine, makes sense as you won't be using it and could always use the few dollars extra.  BUT Gayle is right, it's lonely when you're machineless.  Hard decision, I'd probably try to sell.  

So, don't feel guilty about the expense.  We Moms always put ourselves last and we so deserve a little reward now and then.  Enjoy getting to know your new man!

Hey 3boykinsmommy, congratulations on the new machine and I am sure you are going to enjoy it sew much. If I were you and we're able to afford to keep the old one then I would just sit it back on a shelf and keep it for a spare. Why? You ask? When you have to take that new machine in for it's yearly check up and fine tuning you are going to get lonely without someone to stitch your seams with you. I still have my old original Kenmore that I bought new in 1966 for $99.00 at Sears. It is my favorite for making buttonholes.

Thank you everyone!  I almost feel like I'm getting married again! LOL  Maybe it is kind of like that....hmmmmm....Anway, do you think it bad if I "sell" my old machine.  Gosh, hate to hurt it's feelings but I've moved on in life and well, I no longer need him.  Do you think he'll be heartbroken and feel used?  I would love to find a newer quilter or sewer, someone who is just getting into sewing but like me, didn't have the money to start big but wants something that will do more than the average machine at Walmart will do and they can learn on and upgrade later.  Not much of a market around here unfortunately.....

June, it's funny you mentioned it because I went back in my posts to find you as you had recommended it to me.  I put a comment on your page....it's a sweet machine that's for sure!

Congratulations on your exciting purchase.  I think I mentioned in your first blog about what to buy that I just bought the same machine 2 weeks ago so have not spent much time on it yet.  So far I like it.  Can't wait to use it for FMQ; I have several tops just waiting to be FMQ'd.  Will go to a "how to use" class soon; so many buttons, gadgets, etc.  Good luck and enjoy.  I think I might call her Vicky.
