Thanks Patrice and Austinite! Hubby and I went to a store today and left with a Janome Skyline S5!! The lady, of course, showed me this machine first and then when I told her it was out of the price range, she showed me some others in my price range. OMG, what a difference! The owner told her to not let me buy something I'd grow out of too fast then started chatting with DH. He gave us a great deal plus payments for a year with no interest. Hubby said, just get that first one we looked at. They brought it out of the back, set it up and gave me a quick lesson right then. It's SO NICE! I'm still in shock! Hubby said in the car, the other ones looked too small and clunky, lol. He thought the one we bought was top of the line for "professionals", I had to tell him NOT EVEN CLOSE! I'm excited to use it but need to sew the binding down on the baby quilt before I can do anything else! I appreciate all the help, I can't believe all of my research was for naught!
