New here. I have sewing experience, but am new to quilts
Hello everyone. I have sewn for kids and household for years, but being a Mom of 6 I haven't had the time or space to quilt but have always wanted to. The nest is almost empty and I now have more than enough of both. My machine is from my Gramma who quilted (an old Singer 401a) and I have a beautiful hand stitched quilt done by my great Gramma in the late 1800s she didn't use a machine for anything. I have always been a bit intimidated but I am going for it. In doing research I have been routed to this site A LOT so here I am looking forward to the adventure.

New to the board and quilting myself but I've been watching this board for a couple of months. The people here are so friendly and helpful. I've never seen a rude remark to or about anyone! Don't be shy. For every question on here you will get at least a half dozen answers!

I have noticed how nice everyone is too in my wandering around the site. I live in a very small ethnic town and don't know anyone who even sews so it will be nice to have a place to go for all the little questions. Thanks for all the welcomes.

Welcome from SC Texas. Happy you joined us and hope you jump into making a quilt soon. I still sew and quilt on my 401A I bought new in 1958. I have a newer Brother with quilting tools, but still love the Singer the best.
