THIS CONTEST ENDED 12/10/2010. Thanks to everyone who entered.

"Sewing Pretty with Hello Kitty®". Isn't that what you'd rather be doing right now? It could happen! Janome, our Signature Sponsor here at Sew4Home, sent a very special prize for our Noel Home Great Giveaway: the super popular and cute-as-a-button Hello Kitty sewing machine. The Hello Kitty model is a full-function, 3/4-size model perfect to take to classes or as a first machine for the beginning sewist. But let's face it, it's so darn cute, I think just about anyone would love to have this little sweetie-pie in her sewing room. I know I would.

The Hello Kitty® is a 12-lb. machine with 11 stitches, including 2 stretch stitches and a built-in buttonhole. It has a handy free arm and a carry handle for easy portability. Cute as can be on the outside, but with Janome quality and durability on the inside. It's tough enough to tackle all your favorite Sew4Home projects.

Entering is easy: Simply sign up for our Sew4Home mail list and you are automatically entered to win. If you are already a mail list member, then your work is done. We will draw one name at random from everyone who is in the mail list as of midnight PT December 10, 2010. We will contact the winner by email to confirm your shipping address and we will ship the machine directly to you via FedEX Ground.

We purposefully did this Great Giveway early in the month in order to get the machine to the lucky winner before Christmas. That way, if the spirit of giving overcomes you, this cute little Hello Kitty model can turn into an exciting holiday gift. Sorry, but because of increased shipping rates, this drawing is only open to our Sew4Home friends in the continental USA.

Thanks again, Janome. And, good luck to everyone! Remember, simply sign up for the mail list to enter. If you are already a mail list member, you are automatically entered to win.
