Hello. I have been reading the forum for a few days and decided you look like a great place to learn more. I live in eastern Iowa, and I've only made baby quilts so far. I piece on either a Bernina 440 or a Singer Featherweight. I used to quilt on the Bernina, but I recently bought a sitdown Handiquilter Sweet 16 that I love! Some of the quilt tops sitting around are finally going to be quilted :lol: I'm also working on my quilting skills which have until recently been limited to quilt in the ditch and meandering.
I work full-time which limits my time in my sewing studio. :-( However I do get time to sew a few garments and I have a (very) small business doing custom embroidery using a Happy 12 needle machine. I love all things textile, but the arthritis in my hands keep me from doing handwork. I also love machines, and I have a stable of them! I primarily use the Bernina 440, but I also have a Bernina 1031, a Singer Featherweight (1950s), a White Family Rotary (late 1940s), a Singer treadle VS3 (early 1900s), and a Bernina 1300MDC serger. One can never have too many machines! I use them all except the White and the treadle, but even those are in good shape just waiting for someone to love them.
