Melinda,
Is your Pfaff 230 in treadle or is it an e-machine? I love the look of the black 230s. You will do well; so, don't worry!
Cute strip quilt!
Mine is an e machine, and I wish it was black. It is a really ugly pewter color with green writing on it. The hopping foot was easy to use, and went way better than I thought. At least I think it did, because I had never seen one on a machine, and I hope it was on there right even. Test piece went alright, and I just wing things a lot anyway, so I just let nature take its course. Your quilts are so pretty too. I sort of copied your quilting pattern, with the big loops on it, and did a chalk line first and just followed the line.
