Thank you, all. It certainly is a learning process, but other than having to use premium thread, which my "scotch" soul hates, I'm really enjoying it. I do have to go much slower than I have a tendency to as this machine runs at half the speed of the Brother. But I'm learning it's foibles and am getting better. I do need to figure out a way to get better lighting. I've just ordered a dual book light from amazon that I should be able to stick to the front of the machine and bend the arms to light the stitching area better. I keep accidentally quilting over part since my overhead lights cause a shadow near the top roller. But all in good time.

Here are two pics of the last quilt I did, both front and back. My turns are getting smoother and although I did run too fast at a few places which caused larger stitches, I'm pretty happy with it. My next endeavor, after the light arrives is to work on a twin sized quilt I made for myself. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
