I started quilting just over a year ago. Have been a long time sewer but have discovered my passion is really quilting. I purchased a Janome 6600 which is the ultimate quilting machine but have struggled with FMQ. I recently learned about using an embroidery machine to quilt and the more I researched this the more excited I was!! Just this past week I jumped in head first and got an excellant deal on a Bernina 830LE which was a show machine. My dealer is fantastic and while I am extremely overwhelmed at the moment, I am taking baby steps with this new girl, go to my first class next week and am over-the-moon in love with her!! My nephew is getting married in October and I have his wedding quilt pieced together. I hope to be able to finish it up with my new machine.
