Thank you I did note that the pc quilter says it is compatible with my machine on the online site. I have asked to be a member of the PCQ yahoo site, they have not responded to my request but I am sure they will soon. I have heard of the puck and had a bit of an idea about it but not to the extent of your explanation. I have a variety of machines I can use on the PCQ my hope would be my 17" Bailey.If not I will not cry especially since the PCQ is only going to cost me $100 and I can use it on my midarm. It would just mean that I would have two stations one with the PC quilter and mid arm another with the FMQ. Now my hubby thinks I am challenged. I thought why not have a double decker station , I could have the automated PC quilter on a lower level and the other FMQ on the second level. Something like a bunk bed situation . The hubby is laughing himself silly .. at least I am entertaining! Thank you all for your comments and directions, I can hardly wait to delve in!
