shnnn...such a pretty quilt! Breathing easier with the details you gave. The cabinet is a big plus for me, like I am killing 2 birds with one stone. I don't have to build my own cabinet!!! And I get a flat sewing surface. I am thinking that alone will help immensely!! After all - I am accustomed right now to FMQ on the bed of my machine, and have done an almost full size on it. So - smaller harp space than on the Singer, and on the bed of a machine that is not in a cabinet - so smaller all the way around. I keep thinking - if you get comfortable FMQ on this small space - anything else will be a bonus.
So glad for the encouragement on this board - and the wealth of information. Will keep breathing Havplenty. Such a pretty machine, can't wait to see it later. Will definitely post how it goes!!
