Hi from France!
I have always mostly hand pieced and quilted and just used my old, basic Toyota for attaching borders and binding! BUT... since I joined the board, I have SO many ideas and inspiration that I just have to start machining more (at least piecing and ditch quilting) or I won't get everything done if I live to be 999! So I'm getting a new machine - the Janome 6600MC - which is not cheap but DH says I NEED it so I'm not going to argue with him! I won't leave the hand quilting behind though or EPP because I love doing both in the evening when the telly's on!
