nope, buy a machine there...quilting does not require more than a basic...i piece and quilt on my treadles all the time. and it is far more cost effective to sell it to another enthusiast when she leaves than to ship one both ways and worry about adapter problems. they do not always protect the electronics completely and she would be putting her machine at risk. and she's in Singapore! silk? satin? suiting? please...don't worry about her finding fabric! I want her to send me some!!!!!
