First of all welcome to the QB from SE Michigan! I am so glad you decided to join us here. Like you, I don't use newer machines as my newest machine is from the early 2000, but I didn't buy that one new. The last new machine I have here is from the mid 1980's I love working with vintage machines and I have a number of these that I use trading them off and on for use. Jump right back into your quilting it will be so much fun. So many new patterns and goodies to explore. Again welcome to the QB.
