I agree! I *thought* I wanted an embroidery machine, but I really don't want to spend the money that it costs to get a decent one so I have two options. I have a monogramer for my slants, and I plan to learn free motion embroidery...much cheaper!

I have faith in you!! Can't wait until you've taken Ray's class and feel more comfortable with working on other's machines... altho if I needed to, I'd trust you with any of my machines now!

I treadle a 201 that doesn't have a spoke wheel. Purplefiend does too; from one of her posting of her 201 in treadle, I learned that it could be done.

I have to correct your post, Monica. My 201 has the spoke wheel, it was a natural born hand crank from the factory, its my 15-90 that doesn't have a spoke wheel. I also treadle a Singer 237 zig zag machine with a solid handwheel.

Nope! I'm keeping this one.

The state stars PP blocks have the red, but otherwise most of the quilt front is grey. The print on the back fabric has grey, red, green, black, and white.
