My first quilting class I ever took was the "Beyond the Color Purple" quilt. It was a year long class meeting once a month and I paid $10 a month for it. It was basically for the machine embrodiered blocks. I bought my Pfaff 2144 just to take the class because I loved the blocks and wanted to learn how to do all the fancy embrodiery stuff. Haven't regretted it once. The total class was only $100 but the machine was $6,200 (and worth every penny).

PS the block in my avatar is one of the Beyond the Color Purple blocks.
