Thanks Joset. I am still a newbie and the machine kind of intimidates me. I wish I had an in depth video to watch telling me step by step. I am a visual person. The place where my DH got it for me the man came over, set it up and gave me some direction but I wish I had the visual right with me. I have to practice more. What kind of thread do you use to machine quilt with? Thank you everyone...
