Hooray! I have f8 s from everyone, sent back 9, received 2. Dotty

Got two finished blocks from Sunrise450 today, one for fast group and one for slow group! Thank you, both are very nice...wish I knew which was going to which grandchild! LOL Have to wait till I get them all back and see which is more girly or boyish.

Cute blocks! :thumbup:

No squishies in the mail today, but oldcatlady has a grown-up block headed her way in the morning. :)

Yeah, cleared room to cut and iron again, side squishies on the way. Tommarro, we set up the new old girl....yippie!

one going out to Grandma Di tomorrow morning!

That "old girl" will out last anything you purchased in the past 5 years :-)

All my squishies have been received!

Okay everyone I need some help! I am new to quilting, and my machine is good for piecing, but I cannot do any machine quilting on it because the feed dogs do not drop. My birthday is coming up and I want to get a new machine that I can do more with and has more options. What do you guys reccommend around the $300 range? The Quantum 9960 was recommended to me at a cost of 369.00 but I found it on Amazon for 231.00. I watched a video about it and it seemed like a good machine, but since you guys have more experience I wanted to know what your thoughts were. All help and comments welcome!!!

I find it easier to do FMQ by turning the stitch length to zero and NOT dropping the feed dogs. Check out Leah Days Free Motion Quilting Project. http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/ Thats where I discovered the easy way of FMQ.

Got a block from Kareno last night. OHHH and AHHHHHH here!
