Hi Karen. My name is Jill. I also just recently joined the QB. I love to look at all the quilts. Anyway, I have a Q bot that I bought used on ebay. It also came with the computer software. I have had it a few months and have played with it a little, but have not yet had time to load a quilt onto the frame and really get this thing working. It looks so interesting!! I have some vacation time coming in Oct and really want to start playing with it. Have you had luck using yours?
