HI Rainy Day. Thanks for your reply. The quilting frame looks interesting. I know I wouldn't have enough room for it in my house though. Good luck with it. Let me know how you go with it.

Hi. Well I guess I am fortunate that I live in Australia after all. My quilt is 108 inches by 120 inches , so its really too big to manage on my machine. I've even thought of hand quilting it, but that would take me years.

Thanks for your reply. That makes me feel a lot better now. Maybe I will just pay the $270 she is asking and be happy with it.

Yes, I'm from Western Australia and I agree. I buy most of my fabric online from the US, because at $22-$28 plus a metre in Australia it costs a fortune here!! I know we should support our local quilt shops, but boy, the prices sure put you off!! Anyway, welcome.
