amethyst73Ooo! If this sale (see the first slideshow ad) applies to the Baby Lock E-line (and I don't see anything saying it doesn't, but I will call ahead and make sure), then today is the day!!!
And if it doesn't apply, I shan't go down to Sunnyvale today. I'll go tomorrow instead, when the store is likely to be less of a madhouse than it will today. There's a really convenient E-line I class that meets the Tuesday evenings of the 3rd and the 10th that I want to get into. (My church choir rehearsals start Wednesday the 11th, and I'd like to not have to have a lot of weeks where I'm out late doing stuff Tuesday and Wednesday both. There's also an all-day-Saturday version of the same class, but I'm fairly sure I'd burn out if I did it all in one day.) And, well, I want to have an opportunity to play with my machine a bit before class starts. (Next week is looking really busy, so I'd probably not be able to purchase it until Friday/Saturday.)
The other thing about the sale, if it applies? It will make me feel MUCH better about ordering one of the super-packs of embroidery threads from JoAnn's while the 40% thread sale is going on. (I was going to anyway, but I was being sad even at the sale prices.)
Speaking of machine embroidery thread: Recommendations for brand? Type (rayon or polyester)? I've seen complaints about thread breakage/fraying with just about everything, though Sulky seems to be something of an exception, so I'm leaning that way.
(I also have a bunch of stoopid n00b questions about embroidery, which I'll post later.)

ETA: Sale includes the E-line!!!!!! I'll be heading over after lunch. :D
