Hi y'all! This is my first post and I'm going to tell you that this thread (har!) has helped me too, so thank you. I'm kinda in CaleyH's boat - just starting out, and jumped in with both feet (after a stint making masks with a loaner machine was such fun I knew I needed more) . I tend to do that. My mother, wherever she is (I think she may be haunting me or possessing me at the moment) is laughing like a loon right now. She tried hard to teach me to sew when I was a kid, but it just didn't take - I was a disappointment. So fast forward a....few....decades, rolling past the early 2000s and the slight redemption in her eyes for doing hand needlework for a while, A few weeks ago I took a risk and bought a used Pfaff (working great), a couple of jellyrolls (lessons learned about pinked edges, grrrr) and I'm currently in the piecing phase. It's actually going pretty well, although I will definitely do some things differently for the next one, but I'm sure that's to be expected, right?

At present I'm using Superior Masterpiece and have had no problems. But I was wanting to understand the issues between the two threads - the Superior 50 and the Aurifil 50, since I'm looking into the future and realize that once I get past the "easy" part of piecing, I'm going to have to quilt the thing. Now That is a bit scary.

Anyway, that you all for helping me to not overthink things that are looming. It sounds like either one will work fine for the quilting part too.
