Or more like you can go to the grocery store without a Mercedes but you can only buy Wonder Bread Velveeta and Spam - no steak for you LOL
And Jingle is right too - an expensive machine won't make you a good quilter. Any more than $500 golf club will get you a hole in one! But a poor workman always blames his tools
