THANK YOU!! I am going to check out the Juki. I've read really great things about it so it's even better to have personal users sing its praises also!
It has gotten so bad with my Kenmore that I have taken a break from quilting a CRIB sized quilt! and I another crib sized one (my BFF had twins) lined up and my dad's US Naval Academy quilt top finished and ready to go. I need a new machine!
Thanks again everyone!
