If I get one, I want to piece a quilt and machine quilt it. I will need plenty of help, especially how to get started. I will post that question later, when I get ready to start. I am a retired public school teacher/librarian from Mississippi. I have 3 sons, 3 beautiful daughters in law and 8 wonderful grandchildren. I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to many more conversations with you all.
