I honestly don't sew on anything other than 'people powered' machines. I just feel like I've got tons more control, and the machines are built to last. My oldest is from 1879, and my 'every day machine' is probably around 1920's.
Hope it helps!

I love every aspect of quilt making apart from the basting on the floor bit, but only this week I have discovered the way of doing that on a table with two boards so I can't wait to try that with my next quilt! Just getting a bit to old and stiff to be scrambling around on the floor too much!

This is probably wrong to say on a quilting board, but I'm not so fond of the quilting. Seems everything goes well up to this point and it usually goes to hell. That said I've only ever done SITD and some basic stuff with the pre-sets on my machine but I've only just obtained a darning foot. Not lookin so good though..
I always feel a little fraudulent calling myself a quilter, when what I really am is a piecer.
