I was ask to post a msg about what sewing machine I used. I recently purchased a Mega Quilter machine and frame, they are Husqvarna Viking. The machine is great, it's very powerful and fast, has a knee lift, needle threader & needle up/down positioner. It only does straight stitching, came with a darning foot. I've been practicing (over, over, over) before I put it in the frames to quilt. I'm just about there, thanks to all you nice ladies, I know I don't have to be perfect in all my quilting endeavors.
