Thanks for the welcome! This is the most indepth quilting site I've found. There is a lot of information here. I'm in the midst of transitioning from work to disability and finding my way back to quilting has been good for the soul. As I said I've always hand quilted, sewing machines have scared me from high school home ec (now i'm dated! do they even call that anymore? I remember boys weren't even allowed!) It was the only class I ever flunked seemed like every sewing machine I touched I broke, the only thing I made completely was a shirt which of course I put the zipper in backwards! Never touched a sewing machine since! But now I've broken down and decided to get one I had no idea they were SO expensive and of course I want a sewing machine/embroidery machine go figure. I'm thinking of purchasing the Brother SE 350 anyone know anything about that machine?
And thanks again for the welcome!
