And when I can get to a DIY store and get a thick sheet of styrofoam, I'll surround my Janome 1600 with it, as I learned to do through this QB.[/quote]
Weezie, Just curious... please explain why you are "surrounding your Janome with styrofoam" ??? I must have missed that on the QB? Thanks :-)

What I've learned and why I love quilting.....There are no mistakes. There are errors but there is nothing that can't be fixed. The result....might not be what we planned or expected....but NO ONE knows that but us, the maker.
And, the love that goes into a quilt is worth all the frustration or excitement we feel.
Just think "How far that love travels"? One of my quilts is now in Germany. My niece and her husband are stationed there.
Ain't Love Grand!!!!

Seam, starch, press, square, seam, press, square.
Move my finger out of the path of the rotary cutter.
Ask and there shall be an answer.
