Congrats on the new machine! A few years ago I got my new baby....an Elna Quilt Dream Pro. She sure intimidated me at first! Now we are best friends and I couldn't live without her. I still have my original BF....a Pfaff Tipmatic. She sits in my bedroom for nights like tonight when I can't sleep...

So I've set up my new Babylock and am feeling quite inadequate. My other machine was so simple and this one is most definitely not. I can't even get it threaded the right way in order to engage the auto threader. And I'm not sure I'm winding my bobbins correctly as I am having tension...

I can't believe I did it... After using my old manual Janome Harmony for the last 8 years ( I knew nothing when I bought it, except it was cheap and I could put it on my Sears card) I've been itchin' to get a new tool/toy. Mind you, I don't actually "need" one, this one is quite...

I bought the Janome Memory Craft Professional 6600 about a year and a half ago. Overall, I'm very happy. It is the nicest machine I've ever owned. It came with three years free service. These are my favorite things about it: Thread cutter Button (no more clipping threads from the back of the...

Hi All, I just stumbled across this website today, and am already finding its a great resource! I am looking to upgrade my sewing machine. I started quilting almost a year ago on a small Wal-Mart Brother. I am wanting something with at least a 9" throat space, and will eventually buy a frame to...

Going to a UFO (one day for 12 hours) retreat- What do you bring? We will be working on our individual projects. They have access to design walls, electricity, good lighting, tables and chairs. There will be two cutting tables set up with mats supplied. I bring my small pressing pad and iron. Besides...
