Oh! You are going to LOVE your machine! I have a 22" with LS and pantovision, which I bought at the Houston Quilt Festival. It is so fun and the machine is so easy to use!
I second the yahoo group! It is full of information and has a lot of action! I also agree that you need to get in there and work on a daily basis. I try to do a little something every day, except when I don't have anything loaded. I have completed four quilts and have another loaded, just waiting on the batting to arrive.
Have fun with your new machine!
