Hi Linda.....
The best part in Mexico (for me)..is the yucatan peninsula (merida, campeche)....If your friends goes there every winter..try to go with her...its a wonderful place (where the mayas piramids are)....
I am located 3 hours north from mexico city...
Thanks for the encouregment about the sewing machines....It is the most confusing part....I am quilting with the brother XR65....I am very happy with it...but the stitch is not as perfect...or may be I don't handle it correctly, and I do lack the extra space to my right...I also have an old Kenmore and this Xmes getting a brother serger ....
I was cheking the Juki...but there is also some brother PQ1500...but I am not sure if they make stippling???
