It sounds like you got a great machine! You wil have so much fun. Is it there, yet?! :-)

Yes! It's here....been here since around noon. It's still in the box though....I'm scared to open it! Just been looking at the box. I'm kinda intimidated by it. lol My fabric from Joann's also came today and it's beautiful!!!

Hey Maggieloe. You may want to check out the Creative Feet web site. Clare Rowley demonstrates on video her Octi-Hoops for machine quilting, and she quilts with no presser feet at all. Just the needle alone. Pretty fascinating. So you might be able to use your 45 year old Kenmore for freemotion machine quilting. http://www.creativefeet.com/
