I don't expect to ever buy one; but you never know. Do you ever notice men don't mind buying whatever equipment or tools it takes to get the job done? Women feel they will "get by" and rationalize cost, space, etc.? I'm so new at this quilting that I'm just thrilled to learn a design well enough to brave it on my domestic machine. Really will try to be accomlsihed at fmq on my dm.
