Ditto from froggy in texas! Whatever you read and whoever wrote it was full of beans. I suspect that at least half the people on this board sew on their kitchen or dining area tables. I have an old fashion sewing machine cabinet with a 56 year old cam Kenmore housed in it. I use my 20 year old Janome and the Kenmore interchangeably.
Making a quilt is like having a baby. If you wait until everything is perfect, you will never get it done. Welcome from N. Texas. froggyintexas

3) You can quilt and piece on the same sewing machine. Many Quilting Board members do it.
4) I hadn't in sewn in 20 years and hadn't sewn much even then. and certainly not well. I started quilting and haven't looked back. So go for it!
Can't wait to see your first quilt!
