what a learning experience, i wasted my time using wal-mart fabric only to find out i can't get what i need everywhere.
tried machine quilting on my Janome Memory Craft 4900 and found out it's tough to do.
my husband and i are retired and traveling around the country so i never have time to stop and take a class anywhere :( this would probably help a lot
i pick up a lot of books at the library and use the web.
are there any other 62 year old newbies out there?
It's called retirement for a reason, you no longer have to rush around to anywhere! check out classes along the route you are traveling, see if husband can find something to interest him for a couple of hours.....you will really enjoy the classes.
