I've been quilting for about 7 years, but still need all the help I can get! I discovered this board while Googling for assistance with my ongoing problems with my Janome machine - I'll post my tale of woe in the relevant section. I'm also thinking of buying a new machine in the next few months, and I'm sure I'll be back with questions about that too, as well as advice on the actual P&Q, on the occasions when I get beyond struggling with the machine and actually doing some sewing! Looking forward to being part of this community.
