I have recently semi-retired and now finally have time to return to my sewing passion! I have sewn my entire life and for years have been piecing on my 40-year old Riccar (which I have loved) and hand quilting my quilts. The hand-quilting is beautiful but so time consuming. I started one quilt to go in my new house that we were building and I finished it 8-years later when we sold the house
I now want to begin machine-quilting and have decided to purchase a new machine. I am in sticker shock, oh my, but after visiting a local dealer, I am feeling drawn to a Janome 8900. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
