    Janice, the Singer 328k has the decorative stitches that are always fun to use in bindings or quilting.

    Right now, I have that machine off to the side while a play with my Necchi Supernova. I like both machines. I knew what the Necchi could do since I grew up learning to sew on a Necchi Supernova. But I was very surprised and impressed at the Singer 328k quality of decorative stitching. As I stated, Singer's are excellent simple machines!!! And easy to find the parts, if needed.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the completed Frankentreadle!

    Glenn might have gone fishing again - that is the type of finish he describes in his tutorial - do it!!!

    You know I don't know for sure, but there is a gal who teaches the Quilt As You Go Reversible method here at all our local quilt stores. I am pretty sure she use the Sharon Pederson method because that is the book she recommends. When I took her class a few years ago, she had all the instructions written out already for the class so I am not totally sure where she learned. It is a really fun method - you work on a section or a block at a time. I use to quilt very large - queen and king sized quilts under my Pfaff 1222e, then I got the Pfaff Grand Quilter. I have done lots of those really big quilts on my dinning room table! Never with a FW! I can't imagine trying to do that! Anyway, I then bought a long arm machine with a table large enough for a 108 inch quilt, but I really prefer to do Quilt As You Go! Besides, I LOVE using my Singer 15-88 treadle to quilt the blocks! I do all my FM and all my quilting at home with the 15-88 treadle. I have better control with the treadle than I do an electric machine!
