What machine do you have? I have heard that it only takes a few seconds to add on the attachment for the embroidery, but my main concern was the expense and if I would even use it. Your advice, however; is one that some ladies from the quilt show told me because they like to do 2+ projects at a time. I dont think I am at that level yet so I could use that for a reasoning as to if I should do it or not.
