I like the Sunshine 16 - I think that is the machine you referred to isn't it? They are made in Waverly, TN so that was another reason I checked them out at the Knoxville quilt show this year. There is a Yahoo group for them but can't remember the exact name. Just do a search for both Sunshine and Pennywinkle. When I was reading it, even when someone had a question, the creators of the machine seemed very responsive. Mostly tension questions which seems to be the norm. I am disabled so the sit down version seemed like the answer to my prayers and probably would have one now except for family issues!
