I have been using a several year old Kenmore for piecing (not worth a hoot for FMQ!) but just got the HV Designer Ruby and I LOVE her! We left for a 2 week vacation just 3 short days after I got her and I am dying to get home! We are actually coming home a few days early, so I will finish the top I am working on and begin quilting it. I played with FMQ before I left and Ruby is dreamy! :-)
