Too many books! I rarely ever make a quilt from a book!

Sure they do! There may be someone out there who is looking for a machine that has exactly those features. If you are not happy with it, sell it.

Almost all of mine have come from books. I love the old traditional patterns.

My sit down machine. I can't seem to get the knack of it.

Side winder (bobbin winder), and a light box for tracing patterns. Big waste of money.

the suction handle to use on your rulers (wouldn't stick) and a mini vacumn tool set that attached to your regular vacumn to use to clean your machine--wouldn't stay attached, pounce pad (I use the chalk with a foam brush on stencils on long arm often butnot the pad), many books
What I'd recommend: EQ7, AccuquiltGo; a great sewing machine at show prices; snips that are easy to use and cost so little that you can have several pairs; getting your scissors sharpened,

I love my light box... couldn't do without it for tracing applique patterns and hand embroidery patterns.

2 Rowena irons that didn't last all that long. Now I get any cheaper iron with higher watts, like 1500 and they seem to last for me.
