Lovely quilt to take along to college. Very lucky student! Your sewing room is "the dream" room. The counters/storage/station set-up is exactly what I'd love to have, but haven't been able to justify...Yet! I too have the Husqvarna Designer I. Several years ago I invested in myself and I am not sorry. It is the most wonderful machine! So easy to use - I'm terrible with written directions. I love doing embroidery! And the quilting ability is much safer than FMQ. Have you thought about getting the quilting machine they have - the computerized version? THAT is my dream machine
