Thank You, Ditter! I am making a quilt with this block and a setting block/chain block. I have to make 15 of each kind. I have 11 of the Star blocks done and just 3 of the Chain/Setting blocks done so far. There are pictures of each of the blocks as I got them done under my topic, "The Start of another quilt by danmar". Here is a link to that post.

The blocks are really pretty and you can see them better than in the picture below. I think it will be really pretty when I get it finished.

Oh my, that is BEAUTIFUL!! I love those blocks... and that will be a great alternate blocks.. wow.. I want to see more!

I have the same machine. My DH surprised me with it about 3 1/2 years ago. I had hoped someday to get a "real" machine and, due to the bargain price, I didn't think this was it! So I decided to be gracious, say thank you, and just use it until it broke and then get a good machine. Well, it's doing a great job! I've had no problems with it, other than my own inexperience. I have no need yet to look for another machine. This one's been a keeper!

Isn't it heaven when your machine runs smoothly? Your blocks are lovely and so colorful.

Yes! I am in heaven! It is soooo nice to just 'sew' and not have to rip out half of what I did! I can get so much more done, plus I don't have all the aggravation, depression, and frustration. So far, this machine is definitely a keeper! Thank you for the compliment too. I love the blocks. I am going to finish #12 that I am on now then make up a bunch of the setting blocks. I think it will good great!

I'm impressed: love the colours and the balance. It will be a beautifult quilt when you finish. I am envious of your time and capacity to work on it.

Congratulations and happy sewing. You can never have too many sewing machines. LOL The new blocks are gorgeous, can't wait to see the whole quilt.

Enjoy your new machine!!

dixiechunk 06-06-2010 08:18 AM

Congratulations on the new arrival, er, baby.

PamS 06-06-2010 08:27 AM

I have the same machine and love it! Since it's light weight and tends to move around somtimes, I put it on top of a couple of no longer used foam type mouse pads and she stays in place - that also seems to absorb some of the sound. Enjoy!!!

Gramma 06-06-2010 10:17 AM

I have this machine now for 21/2 years & have had no problems.

craftybear 06-06-2010 10:24 AM

Congratulations, do the happy dance!

Bevanger 06-06-2010 10:59 AM

harrishs 06-06-2010 11:51 AM

I bought the same machine 2 months ago and just love it----the 1/4 in setting is the best I have ever had----I liked mine so much, my sister bought one......Enjoy, enjoy!!!

Greeter Eva 06-06-2010 06:58 PM

So glad for you. I remember getting mine almost 10 yrs ago. It just doesn't seem that long.

danmar 06-06-2010 07:48 PM

So far, I love this machine. I haven't had any problems and it is really easy to figure out how to use. It's nice to know that so many people also have this machine and have no problems with it. Thank you everybody for your input!

GladGrams 06-07-2010 09:15 AM

Great choice! I bought the same machine to use in the states and it really does compare with my Husqvarna machine I have here in Norway that I paid over $2000 for!.

ToucanSam 06-07-2010 09:28 AM

I have the same machine and it's a good little workhorse. :) Of course, my sewing never looks as good as yours does.....

I too have this machine and love it. For the first time ever I have 1/4" seams! I consider that a small miracle. I have had this machine about 2 months and love it!!

JanetM 06-07-2010 11:42 PM

I am so happy for you. Isn't it fun getting a new machine? It looks great and I can see a lot of decorative stitches you can have fun with. Your block is PERFECT :!: Great machine, great quilter...think of the possibilities :wink:

Thank you everybody for the wonderful messages. I ordered a 1/4" foot and 25 new bobbins to go with it too. They should be here Friday. I like this machine alot so far. It sews great and I haven't had any problems with it. I have only had to rip out one thing so far and that was my fault. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. Here's a picture. Notice anything wrong!???? haha I put the bottom set of 3 rectangles in upside down. I didn't notice until I had taken the picture.

I Don't Think I Can Blame the Sewing Machine For This, The Only Thing That I've Had to Rip Out. Ha Ha
