I wish I would have know I was going to quilt when I bought my sewing machine last May. I would have paid the extra for a quilting sewing machine or even more and a different machine. If I keep quilting which I am sure I will, I may just have to give my daughter in-law my sewing machine when she moves back East (my son is in the service...they are hoping to get re-stationed near by).

Then I finally got a decent machine and been happy ever
since!
