Hey RagQuilter, are you near the Charlotte area? I am not *in* Charlotte, but it is definitely my 'identifying' city! ;0)

Miriam, I did see that thread, but I never know whether pricing is accurate, or funny! I am never sure where to post my 'finds'!!

But, I did finally look at all cL had to offer, so maybe no more for a while!! ;0)

Thanks for the interesting opinions! I am always learning things here ~

I have had several industrial machines - 10 -15 years ago you couldn't find them and they weren't cheap - CL has made a difference I think. There is a difference between running one of them and a home maker machine. feel free to post on the CL link... we can all get a good laugh
