Thank for the suggestion quiltingeileen, Ironically my sister-in-law recently purchased a Janome after having a faithful Viking for decades. She loves her new machine. I'll email her to find out the model. One quilter suggested I stay with my current machine to see if we can become "friends," and think that is a good suggestion for now. In the past, have traded or gifted a family member with old faithfuls that I still miss! Wishing you Happy Quilting Days! Smiles, Snowrose
