oh my gosh, now I'm getting so excited! I've put some fabric sandwiches together and am going Thursday. I called to warn them (SewingMachinesPlus). My one concern is that the lady i've worked with doesn't do any quilting, so she's looking for different things in a sewing machine than I am. Now my husband has become the voice of doom, saying that all this is going to do is confuse me, trying all the different machines. I've sure gotten a lot more good information from all of you to go on, and I'm sure that will help. My Pfaff is almost back in the box (I can never get things to go back in the way they came out) so I can take it with me when I go in case I bite the bullet, get a new machine and trade the Pfaff in.
