Default Thank you!

While reading this board for about 3 months, I learned about Janome machines. I asked your advice about a month ago and after more research, I bought a Janome 7700 2 weeks ago so that I could begin FMQ. I'm having a blast with the larger work area and the decorative stitches. My first FMQ is ok, I won't be embarrassed to give my granddaughter her first quilt from me. In fact, it is the first quilt I have ever made, although I have sewn for years. I've done block of the month at my local quilt shop for 3 years and finally ventured out on my own and pieced an entire quilt from a pattern I found in a magazine, borders and all. My last step is the binding. You all have given me techniques, lessons, and recommended a wonderful machine. I love looking at your beautiful quilts! Happy Holidays everyone!

So far, I am enjoying it very much. It has not been at all difficult to learn to use. I will still use my Bernina for quilt piecing because it sews a perfect 1/4 inch seam, but the Janome has been a wonderful addition! I need a larger sewing room

I'm living proof that you can get a consistent 1/4" seam (or even a scant 1/4 inch seam) on a Janome without a lot of trouble. It just takes a little futzing and checking your sizing. LOVE, love, love my Janome.
