Needless to say, since I was doing all of the above, with great success, I'm confused. I've had great luck with my machine, and love the table! Any thoughts??
LOL, the instructor was on something!!!!!!!!! I'd ask for my money back. Quilting is simple straight stitches------------which can be done by hand, by cheap (new or old) machines or the fanciest machine available. Or any where in between.
