Also new to the board, and wondering if you are active in any quilt groups locally? I am looking for something that meets monthly and live in Southfield.

Welcome from Central Michigan. When you get your quilting machine please post how it works for you and a picture of it if possible.

I am totally blown away with how friendly everyone is here! You are an awesome group. I have always just quilted by myself, learning as I went along. I have Thursday off for Veterans day so I am going to go play with the Tin Lizzie at the local shop and see if I think it is the machine for me.

Welcome!!! Where are you at here in Michigan? I live in Westland.

Hello and welcome from Fl.

Perhaps you could rent some time on a machine instead of rusing into buying a long arm. I think places that rent time also give classes.
Welcome to the board!

Hi ljfox: Welcome! Where in MI are you? I'm in K'zoo. Lots of Michiganians on this board. I know you'll like it here!

I'm in Michigan also. Great to have you on board!

I have a Bailey and Grace frame. I love the set up.
