[QUOTE=quiltsRfun;8190094]There are many who prefer vintage machines rather than the newer ones. All you really need is a good straight stitch and an accurate 1/4-inch seam. Do a google search for a manual. Many are available online. Start small and simple and ask here for advice. We were all beginners at one time and are happy to help. I look forward to seeing your first quilts.
P.S. Check out the Missouri Star videos on YouTube. You’ll find lots of help and inspiration there.[/QUOTE. I must apologize I’m new to this type of conversation format and I wrote a response to your post but did it wrong so if you check the thread there’s a message in response. I’m learning all kinds of new things today and my teenage girls think it’s so funny that I can’t figure out how to use this but I can fix just about anything else.
