I didn't want to sound too braggie but I Love my Pfaff too. I think what ever machine you get use to you love. I own a business, have a large property to maintain, take care of my mother who lives on the property. and still do alot of quilting for charity and firends. It is my tharapy! I have been doing some knitting for Christmas too.
I was lucky to have a client/friend who was a 20yr quilter and she taught me what she knew. We got together twice a month and worked on projects. I live in the Seattle area and each year the whole west coast of Washington has a quilt shop hop which starts at the Orgon end of the state and ends 1 mile from Canada. There has been as many as 64 shopes and it is a five day thing. Each shop gives you a block and some or the fab. of the year them you add to it and make a quilt with how many blocks you got. I learned on those blocks. Great fun. My firend and I head out the day before and don't come home till it's over!
