Thank you all for your quick responses and helpful information. I will keep you in touch with my progress. At the moment I am making a quilt with a class locally. This is my first proper instruction in patchwork and quilting and I am finding it very interesting. In the past I have generaly made small items with the exception of Grandmothers Garden throws which I have really enjoyed making. I am basically a hand sewing person and to work with a machine is enlightning as well as faster. All of you take care and keep sewing.
