Ohhh, that's pretty. Your work is really nice. (I have read you can get generic walking feet for cheap for some machines. I haven't checked but use the search field and you will find the post it is mentioned in I bet.)
We have tons of hand quilters and they will be giving you information left and right. Isn't this board wonderful. I love it too. I don't have the skills necessary to know the answer to your questions but I wanted to say hello and be sure I welcome you to the quiltingboard./Regards, Dorothy
