   I do think it would be good for a newbie. I believe it comes with an instructional video, and from what I can tell (I'm a newbie and have taken a look at the machine here in the office), it's actually pretty self-explanatory. It's also an ecomonical way to get into machine embroidery. If you love it, you might later want to spring for a machine with more built-in features, but to start with, you can a lot with one of these stand-alones.

   Carol:

   Thanks for your input. I was shopping for books at Amazon.com and found one at the unbelieveable price of $539.99 (free shipping too!) so guess what my DH is getting me for Christmas (even tho' I haven't had the courage to tell him yet.) Ho, ho, ho is all I can say! I appreciate your help.

   Have a great time with you rnew machine. Are  you going to wrap it up and put it under the tree? Don't tell your husband--it should be a surprise for someone, right?!

   Was your husband surprised at the gift he gave you?   My husband and I do quite a lot of shopping that way and it seems to work just fine.  As long as there is one real surprise in there.           rjf

   and sometimes I forget what I got for him to give me so it really is a surprise.  But not if it's a new sewing machine..........you couldn't forget that.
