But I can't talk him into it.

I've been stalking the listings on Craigslist for a mid arm. There is a HQ 16 in my area for $2500. It's still a lot of money, and realistically I just don't have the space a 12 foot table is big for a house built in the early 70's.

I want a dedicated embroidery machine. Making gifts lets me get creative and I would love to monogram them but my efforts of trying to do it freehand just doesn't cut the mustard so to speak. Also would like a small iron for pressing small seams. Getting into small spaces is so hard with a regular iron. Years ago a friend gave me a Clover small iron, it sucked, didn't get hot enough and the temp thingy broke off. Might as well throw it away.

I'll be happy with what I've got-I'm fortunate to have a dedicated quilting space (well except for when my grandson is sleeping in it 3 -4 nights a week.) All of his stuff is in the bedroom he shares with his Dad and its not a permanent situation so it's good.

I want all the quilt in a day rulers. I have watched Eleanor Burns use them and really want them. But I would also like the 9 and 10 degree wedge ruler. I want to do the spiral tree skirt for my family for christmas (nieces, nephews and sisters). I have the fabric but don't have the ruler.
