Label me as a slow learner. I have been reading the Newsletter for several months and did not realize there was a Message Board attached. I was caught up into a lot of other things, and would read quickly and go on my way. Some of us do spend tooooo much time on the computer and I am afraid I am one guilty party.
I began sewing in Home Ec class many years ago. When I finally figured it out it was 1949! Ouch! Yes, I am 72 and slowing down, but I just learned to quilt 6 years ago. I knew I could never make quilts by hand because of nerve damage. Eleanor Burns showed me that anyone can quilt. She has been a big inspiration to me, and I am sure to others.
I am interested in buying a new machine that will fit into a quilt frame. I am not sure what frame I want yet, and have asked everyone I know what they use. I had planned to get a wood frame and use it to assemble the layers, but spending money to have someone else quilt them was getting to be too expensive. Now I want to quilt my own quilts myself.
I am open to opinions on quilting frame and machines (not $1000 long arm types) that work with these frames. I need to learn a lot before I spend that retirement money.
Please share with me, I will be greatful for your responses.
