Default Trip to sewing machine store

I am dreaming of a new machine so DH and I went to Louisville to look. I have a Janome 3128 and really want a bigger machine. The ladies were so nice at this shop and were shocked that I had quilted a queen size on my little machine. I laughed and said that I was too dumb to know that I couldn't! Merry Christmas everyone! I have pictures to share as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

It's amazing what folks think you CAN'T do on a small machine or quilting system. I went to my local shop yesterday to buy a darning foot and was looking at the pantograph templates. I built my own quilting frame and they told me the templates wouldn't work on my frame. I told them it would because I built my frame and I knew what I could do and not do with it. I can always rebuild or adjust the frame to whatever I need. You would think they would be encouraging me to try it so that they could make a sale.
