Give up quilting?! NO - say it isn't so! I'm with the reply about giving general geographical area - I have two Jenome's - in case one quits on me - and I gave away a regular machine to a friend who wasn't sure she was "into" sewing who has used it for years and put many miles of fabric through it. Getting old isn't for sissies, for sure, but there are some of us who have more than we need that are more than willing to share with those who don't.
