Thank you slbram for the "heads up" about Sewing Pattern Review. I went to the site and read the reviews.
Maniac Quilter.. I have tried it out. I liked sewing with it. I realize there is a learning curve with new machines. I think the information I am looking for is about its longevity/reliability and are you glad you purchased it. Were you able to get used to it and did the Jane live up to expectations.
