I was so ahead of the game until...

I was actually kind of disappointed that there was really nothing I needed or wanted and so I couldn't really participate in the Thanksgiving sales. In fact, this morning, I decided that I did not want the Echo Spot I ordered. It was supposed to have been shipped on December 19 and I ordered it originally just to get a place in line while I decided. I decided today that I wanted the $125 instead so I canceled the order.

So good. So proud. And then...

I saw on Reddit that Amazon had a fabulous serger on sale for a ridiculous price. I've always wanted a serger but I have no place to put one. But this price. What if I got a case for it and kept it in the case. Oh wait, there's a case that will work for it and my sewing machine both. So one in the case, one on the table. But, now I need cone thread.

So, yeah, my $125 is gone along with an additional $60. I could still send it back when it gets here next week. But, we all know that ain't gonna happen.

So, yep, cliches are us. Doing my bit for the economy. Yer welcome.

Ooooh, but you're going to LOVE the serger! It's really like the sewing version of a microwave or a toaster oven and is totally made for someone who sews the kinds of things you do. I had no idea you didn't have one and now I'm kind of inappropriately excited for the new world that is about to open up for you! :)

awwwww way to wipe away buyer's remorse!! you are the best.

Nope I've never had a serger in my life. Never even used one. But, my list of things that I want to make with a serger is way beyond my life span :)

It will be here probably Tuesday. Maybe Monday.

Thank you.

I used cone thread on my regular machine when I was quilting as a full-time hobby. Couldn't be bothered with puny little spools of thread.

Congratulations.

My mom loves her serger. I hope you get as much pleasure out of it as she does. And the economy can always use a boost.
