Hi my name is Dianna, I am a mother of 3 and grandmother to 4.. love being a grandmother :) Im fairly new to the quilting world. Ive always enjoyed sewing but most of my sewing experiance was hand repairs. I really enjoy machine sewing now and now I want to dig into machine quilting. I have been researching different machines and even machine quilting frames and my brain is fried..lol I have tried to find local quilting/sewing centers so I could check out how the frames work and if im making a good investment but there is nothing in my area. So Im reaching out to all of you to tell me about your experiance and your recommendations. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dianna,

What part of S Jersey are you from? There are going to be some big (and small) quilt shows in March in Philadelphia and Somerset NJ and there will be machine vendors at these shows, as well as scores of amazing quilts to look at.

I'm in Central NJ and we have some pretty active guilds in the area. There are probably quilt guilds down by you as well...

Welcome to the board!
