Hello from the beautiful, WARM mountains! It is really going to be a lovely weekend!
I checked out the local dealers and read a bit online and finally ordered a Singer from Amazon, which, theoretically, is especially set up for quilting, with threader, cutter, drop-feed, wide throat, extended bed, several specialty feet, a special quilting stitch (supposed to look like hand quilting) and a variety of fancy stitches.
Do I like it? I sure hope so, but it hasn't arrived yet, so - so far I'm just in love with the description!! :D
