Welcome to the forum. You will find all kinds of help and information here. You can spread the passion for quilting around Europe. Is it more typical for people to do knitting where you live? I know here in America a lot of people who quilt also knit. I do, socks mostly. I love hand knitted wool socks. It would be great if you would include what country you were from in an automatic signature line. It would help give us context when we answer your questions and you wouldn't have to write it all the time. Hope you find a machine that you like.
