I agree that this board is the most valuable quilting resource. I have also learned so much. Looking forward to seeing many more posts from you.

I love your 'man quilt'. It turned out great! Is fabric easy to find there?

About your FW....

Are you changing the motors to 220 or working by using a transformer of some kind?

Hello Justflyingin, thank you for your kind words.
About the fabric I have a blog entrie talking about the shops in Madrid, I hope it will be useful

. but mainly I shop on line in Fabric Shack best prices and international shipping.
My three FW have 110-125 W motors and each one was sold with a voltage converter (110 to 220 w) from 100 VA to 300 VA but the 100 one is too short for several hours working and overheat and the last works fine but a tecnician told me that with 200 VA is just fine and ligther and smaller to carry around. I bought this:

The FWs sew very well after cleaning and oiling, and I rewired two foot pedals too.

Nicely done. Don't you just love it when you take your talent to a different level? I'm sure you learned a few new things along the way... looking forward to your next project.
