    I am going to have to use my stash and stay out of the fabric stores for about a year! I decided to see what is available in lightweight, portable machines for the quilting class I joined. I went into the store where I bought my BabyLock Espire 7 years ago (to look, mind you) and when I left I had signed the bill for a brand new BabyLock Espire Dream Quilter's Series. I pick it up next Tuesday. I am getting it for $1200 off. The saleslady kept talking to the owner and by the time we were finished, I also got the A-Line machine straight across trade for my original Espire. Some days it does pay to get out of bed!

    Congratulations! I'm happy for you. It will be worth sacrificing fabric shopping for awhile. Enjoy & happy stitching.
