    Thumbs up Helping the economy, at least she is..

    This is what dd bought today when we were in the city. It was on sale and she saved $200.00. She made a down payment and will pay it off by the end of April. Having it on lay-a-way, she pays no interest or any extra charges.

    She is estactic and I'm excited for her. She wanted to upgrade to a better sewing machine. http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/8601_8602.htm

    That is a really nice machine! The best part is though it will be paid in full before she takes it home. I think it is great!

    Thanks ladies. She is very frugal with her money and doesn't like spending on frivilous things. Her brother on the other hand....well we just won't go there.

    She keeps going around saying "I have 81 stitches and I can even do alphabets". With her Huskystar207 she only had straight stitch and zigzag.
