Hello! I just joined this site. I am living in Africa (my husband works here) and Lagos is a little dangerous and not much to do so I don't get out often and therefore have decided to learn how to quilt. I just finished one with African fabrics but it wasn't very good so I'm trying to get better.
I think I'll try to start from the beginning.
I have an old Singer that rattles the table when I sew. I'm looking to find a used but better machine online. I can't go into a quilting/sewing machine shop here. I noticed someone on the Main forum asked for one around $800. There is no way my husband will let me spend that, so that's why I'm hoping Ebay or Amazon has a slightly used one for around $300. Maybe I'm unrealistic?
Anyway, also our internet sometimes dies so I'm looking for a few good resource book recommendations. Right now Quilting for Dummies and a Carol Doak book are in my wishlist. Any other recommendations?
