Welcome!!! It's worth the drive to go to a quilting expo. My mom and I went to one in Madison, Wi to "try" all the machines out and find out which one suited us best. Oh...and it's so much fun to spend a day there. The people were so friendly....we talked to a lot of wonderful people.

I have a very old Gammill and it does OK - mostly operator issues :>) Hindsight says I should stick to making tops and paying someone else to do them. It takes a fair amount of time/practice to make the quilting on my quilts look like I want them to look - but I'd rather make tops than practice. Dilemma....a closet full of tops that I don't want to ruin with my lousy quilting!! I know a lot of gals who have machines and they enjoy them. I'm too fussy with the end result and so far haven't met my own expectations. We're gone 6 months a years too so the machine just sits there for the most part. That's my tale of woe from Chicago.
