I was there in December on a Sunday and they were closed. I was very frustrated. I just loved Passau though. Maybe I'll get to go back someday.

Mea,

Thanks, as of now that is the way I'm leaning.

Jennifer 23 and Maniac Quilter 2, thanks you both for your comments. I liked the Sapphire however FMQ'ing is not one of my favorite things. I don't mind doing it for a small quilt but really don't...

Thanks for the info Honchey and NJ quilter. I"m leaning towards the Opal. I had a Viking that I bought about 25 years ago, long story short it broke about 8 years ago and the part required was no...

Hi All,

I test drove several sewing machines today and I've narrowed it down to the Viking Opal 690Q or the Sapphire 960Q. If you have either of these machines I'd like to hear your pros and cons...

Thanks, I'll have to be on the look out for one.

Love your space. I really like your table with the sewing machine, where did you get it. I'm looking for a new sewing table and I think the one you have might work.

I agree with Moonwork about not having them in my house because of the toxins leaching out from the drugs not to mention the mold and other contaminants you mentioned. Please do some research there...

Cathy,

Thank you for the advise. I'm hoping to have Wednesday off from work so DH and I will try it then.

Macybaby,

Thanks for the info. DH says that we actually need the entire assembly. The the screw goes in but it doesn't screw into anything. We can fabricate something, but I would love to have...

I've gotten my White Rotary up and running, thanks to all of you for your advice. The machine is missing the little screw/knob thing (I'm sure that is the official name) that goes on the front and...

Sharon,

Thanks I'll contact her about the bobbins.

Joe, thanks I'll try it after dinner.

Thanks IMC8 and J Miller for the information. I do have some of the teflon washers that Leah Day features so I will give one of those a try. The bobbin I have came with the machine and looks like...

I have a few days off from work and thought it would be fun to get my White Rotary treadle machine running. I found an instruction book on line and have the machine threaded and bobbin threaded...

I love all three but especially like the third one. I have some batiks in my stash and that could be really cute. Although I like the idea of red, white and blue too.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice room. I love your quilting tea pot.

I thought cross hatch would be nice too, right down the middle of each square.

Very nice. I love the colors, and of course the quilting.

Love it , great job.

You should laugh, it will make you feel better, crying just give you a headache :) My advice for the day.

Great job Becky. Can't wait to get my quilt back Thursday. I'm sure it will be gorgeous.

I've never heard of it. I grew up in WNY and go back for an annual visit, maybe this year my visit will be in Sept.

Beautiful job. Where in MT are you? What type of machine do you have, are you working free hand or do you have a computer operated machine?

I would love a set up like that.
