Doloresbeger, Thanks. Nearest shop is about 75 miles from where I live. If this pandemic ever ends, then maybe I will make a road trip.
QuiltingCandy and RhondaK, Yes, I've heard that Brother makes some fairly good embroidery machines for the beginner. I've looked at those, but unfortunately they are above my current financial ability. I also like Babylock, but they are even higher priced.
As this is just an information gathering for me, getting a machine right now isn't important. I am just goi9ng to keep studying the idea before making a decision.
I do like the idea of embroidering the quilts with basic patterns. That had crossed my mine when I first started looking.
