@QuiltE yes you did it!

No, I didn't ... I cut and pasted yours over!
So that would not work if I was starting a new response.

@QuiltE
My wife actually has a higher end Pfaff than mine (which she handed down to me when she bought the new one). Maybe she will want the Juki when she uses it; time will tell. Either way we will both have nice machines. The munchkin has always loved the Featherweight and I think she’s intimidated by our machines. She does really well with it and I love seeing her sewing her 9-patches. I think she will be a quilter someday.

@wesing I got "sew" excited about this new toy, then forgot to reply to this!
It's nice that you all have your common interest in the sewing/quilting. Though I do have to laugh at your thought that your munchkin is intimidated by the new-fangled machines! So many kids of this computer generation would just turn their nose up at that "old black thing" without all the computer glitzy stuff! What a great kid you have raised!! :)

@bearisgray I can’t take credit for finding it. Someone tagged me a while back and I think I got some kind of notification (I could be mistaken about that). On Facebook you use the @ symbol to tag people so I thought I’d try it here and it worked. Did you get notified that you’d been tagged?

@QuiltE I’m definitely NOT smarter than the average bear. The older I get the more I realize this. 🤓
we have always thought it was funny that Emmaline is fascinated with computers, phones, tablets, etc but gravitated to the 1951 model sewing machine. I think it’s because it IS a machine that makes noise and moves. Our machines are full size and louder so I think she thinks the small, quiet FW is less threatening. And she was much smaller when she started sewing so the size part was more extreme.
