Your beautiful hand painting on the side of the cabinet got me curious as to what your quilt work looks like. Okay, so I'm nosy.

Was more work than it was worth to do the same thing I can do with my 15-91.
I have a handquilting frame that I can use to pin quilts or hand quilt with, so that's all good...

I sold the Pfaff and bought the spousal unit a beater of a pickup truck that he loves! Smartest thing I've done in awhile, he doesn't say word one about my machines now!!
