I am looking at a 20 yr old gammill long arm. Would it be a good investment for $3000.00? I have seen TinLizzie but what I have seen, would be a mistake. The best in a new one under $10K is a Baby Lock. I want to not spend so much that I have to quilt for other piecers, then I would not get to have fun doing my own.
I just met a gal who had taken a class in woodless color pencils. They had used them on all kinds of fabric and us fabric medium to set the color. Does anyone have the instructions as to how to do this?

But I am also a quilter that does not have young children in my immediate circle of family and friends and thus I pass by on all the kiddie stuff. As for the inspiration part, I have found that ...

Yesterday I read where there are looms you can purchase that your sewing machine is able to ride down tracks in order to quilt your piece. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Would you recommend the one you have? Thanks!
I am thinking of using some blues and aquas in lines across the across, I think wavy lines would be great, don't know how to cut or sew them, would love to hear your answers and comments.
