Hi Diana
I'm a member of the Janome yahoo group but mostly a lurker. The first posting I did there a gal was really rude when I said I loved Connecting Threads, after that I just read to learn from other postings. I felt if she didn't agree she didn't need to respond, especially so vehemently. Mostly everyone is really supportive and knowledgeable and eager to share.
warm quilt hugs, sue
