I went to my first one last weekend and had weekend passes so that I wouldn't miss anything but I was rather disappointed. I did go on both days, once by myself and once with my DD. I did buy some patterns as if I need more of those!!!!) and a couple of rulers but the fabrics I thought were way to expensive. I did get some ideas for future projects but I don't need any more ideas as I am having trouble making the ones I already have. I did see the new Janome Horizon machine and it is definitely on my wish list. I have the Janome MC6500 mow and I absolutely love it but now I want the Horizon.
