If you use the search engine here in the QB, do a search for crazy quilting to see if there is anyone around that is actively doing crazy quilting. I haven't seen a thread on that for a while.

Do you have used clothing stores in Finland? Great buttons (and fabrics) can be found affordably there.
It is so exciting to be a beginning quilter! Enjoy working on your machines! Once you can repair them yourself, you will definitely be off and running.
