I love your goals! Mine was pretty simple for last year...to get the binding right! I bought a binding attachment for my Bernina 770---Don't waste your Money! I then tried their #71 foot, kind of right, but not great. Then watched utube from Krista Moser...It finally clicked! Did my first GREAT looking binding today...I have been quilting since 1978...but gave up hand binding 15 years ago.
