Congratulations! Your block looks great. I have a low end Brother and it has been a real workhorse, even with FMQ. Have fun with it!!

Ninnie, will you use your new machine to quilt your Navy & White quilt? Great you got it in time for the New Year so you can quilt those beautiful quilts quicker. TTUL

Ninnie

thanks, Sheila. No, I will still hand quilt the Navy and white, as it is going in a quilt show next year.
But I do intend to learn to machine quilt for small quick projects! :-D

Be sure to thank your husband for his thoughtfulness!!
Men like that are to be treasured.

For your first project, make him a lovely lap robe to thank
him for being so kind!

Good luck....I have also Brothers machine....They are very good and I am very happy with mine....(PQ1500,ce5000 and XR65..).... I eventually started my quilting experience on the XR65 that is a very cheap machine and I was so happy with the results that I decided to upgrade....On my wish list is some excellent embroidery machine (now I would rather wait and buy the best I can effort.....)
I know that Janome are ususally very good machine but when the gear was broken on mine we descovered that it was from a very cheap plastic and no way fo replace it....
.....All my best wishes on your new horse...

Thanks anina, I am so glad others have this machine and love it also. If I need help, I know it will be here. I also have an Brother embroidery machine,a PE750D, and I love it! only holds one spool of thread at a time, but I really enjoy it.

So happy for you, Ninnie. You already make beautiful quilts, so they'll just get more beautiful!

I'm VERY impressed that you read the manual BEFORE diving in! The rest of us would just jump in feet first...
