Oh thank-you thank-you very much....I have to say that my Janome 350E is got to be the easiest machine to use...Grant it I haven't had to resize or split patterns yet...but so far wow...I used a Sun Bonnet Sue redwork design in the sashing strips on a baby quilt I'm working on and wow...I'm impressed with myself how well the strips turned out...I found the design free on Amazing Design site.....
