I have been living full time in my RV for 10 yrs now and love it. Have seen lots of the USA. Workamp along the way. I have a Sears 30 stitch(Under $200.00)and love it, is over 20 yrs old and also a Husquvarna Huskylock 936 serger. Sew a lot along the road. Lots of lap quilts for the grand & great grands and table toppers.Stop at every quilt shop possible. Make and give lots of other projects along the road. Enjoy your 5th wheel and travel safely and as often as you can. Any questions on this lifestyle, just give me a pm. granny_kee

Do any of you traveling quilters ever have your picture taken in front of a well known landmark or state sign, holding your sewing machine? Like the travelling gnome? I think that would be a nifty idea for a scrapbook.

I have an OLD Singer that my mother used many, many years. She and I traded her machine for my AirDyne Bike. I want to upgrade to something newer but I don't know what would be the best. Going into the machine stores intimidate me as I don't want to be pressured into a purchase that is more than I can afford. How does a person decide what brand/model to purchase. I'm overwhelmed..... help!

atraveling knome Sewing machine--that is a GREAT idea. I wish I had thought of it 10 yrs ago, will definately do it from now on!Good idea "lindacope" To "Pattiannie" go into the shops and try out different machines. That is what I did before purchasing my serger.

So here is my question. My husband wants to live in our RV fulltime when retirement comes. He has a lot of convincing to get me to sell my home and do this. I want to take the sewing machine. He says it will be me quilting and him sitting in a rocking chair. What do your husbands do while you are quilting? We both love the outdoors, and if we could get into fishing I know we would both enjoy it.

We get a lot of Ontario residents donw in Fl for the winter so come on down. Its still way to hot here right now. Sice Kenmores are made by Janome you would be able to get parts easily enough still. I think a mechanical one would hold up better for long hauls but lightweight..mnn. Yes, a FW would do it but at the asking prices now , forget it. I bought a Janome SewMini and left it out west at my son's. $40 and sews only straight stitch. Alos very noisy. I was afraid I would wake up the baby whenever I used it. :-(
