have any of you thought about some of the younger women that you know and thought about sharing a machine that you don't use too much to teach them to sew and share the quilting bug?
I would give my extra machine to my friend but my mom is already getting it and my sil is getting my moms old one.
this is just a thought. those that have more than 4 machines you are truly privileged to have so many. sharing one with a new wife of mommy that doesn't have a lot of money would be a wonderful gift to that mommy or wife. plus you will just have created a new quilter. I know that if I had someone not only share with me how to quilt but offered me one of their machines I would have been truly grateful. I was lucky to have a wonderful lady offer to sell me her old janome so that she could get a new machine. her hubby said that she couldn't get a 6-7th machine unless one left the house. just a thought.
