    Thank you all.

    I finished the quilt tonight. I ended up using basic white bias tape because the blue satin just over powered it. When I'm not on my phone tomorrow I'll post a picture of it,

    I'm so surprised at the difference in the singer and shark. One sounds loud and tired and the other is just wondering along.

    I think you're amazing. "Look what I found, a sewing matching. I'll clean it and repair it and just teach myself to sew!" What a lucky niece and nephew! It looks like you're quilting too! What a great example to us all! I can't wait to see what you make.

    Great find. Hope the sewing machine turns out well. They are great to sew on. Love the quilt.

    It looks great for a first quilt. We all improve with the more we make. Check out the section called "For Vintage & Antique Machine Enthusiasts". There are a lot of real smart members that know all about restoring older DSM.

    Everything was meant to be anxious to see finished. So fortunate all around. For me it would be my Christmas gift done.

    While I know the lines aren't perfect I'm still in love with how it looks! I'm really excited to start the next quilt for the nephew. Thank you everyone. :-)
