Hi, I have successfully caught the bug!!! Lol, all seriousness, I have been sewing since I have been about maybe 6 or 7 and let's just say that was many MANY years ago......I quit for about 10 years to raise my daughter, had to get a real job as she is a juvinal diabetic. Recently my mom passed away, who was a very active quilter, and considering I am the next sewer in line of our family tree, my dad gave me all she had, including her fabric stash, 5 machines, and several unfinished quilts. During one of my moments of missing her, I decided to finish some of her unfinished quilts. Now I can't stop.........that was 2 years ago. Since then my DH bought me a new quilting table, and am now in the search foe a good machine to use on it. I am leaning towards the Brother PQ1500S. Several of my machines are brother, and I wouldn't trade them for anything.....any comments would be great.
