I just wish it had changeable feet like a round solid one to make ruler work easier. One good thing is that the price is sooo much less than others (especially here in Canada),

I bought half of the patterns at a sale for $2@ then had to order the rest at $10@ I did the first block then put it away for summer. I only worked on the blocks during the winter and the one of deer was too dark and I ended up redoing it. Got to the last 3 blocks this year and then had to work up courage to quilt it, but after I started it was easier than I thought. Just took lots of energy and concentration. Good Luck with the beach, when you are done maybe we could swap patterns.

Did you buy just the patterns or a kit? I had lots of fun picking all of my materials and used it as an excuse to buy more of course.

I see you are just a few blocks down from me! I also was talked into moving to the Eastern Shore, just a few short years ago. Glad too meet you I was begining to wonder if there were any quilters on the Eastern Shore. Looks like your busy, keep quilting.

I couldn't stand where I needed to in order to get a full front view. Some is better than none. Thanks for the help.

It may be an older model although it's brand new...I've been playing with it for 2 weeks now.. Quilted a quilt, did a lot of piecing and so far so good. I am going to Bernina class in May...can't wait! You should definitely name your machines...I have featherweights named Marie and Betsy...LOL. (Marie for my great grandma which was hers!). I should name this one Zim...cause I bought it from mr. Zimmerman!

At 7:45pm on December 20, 2011, Debbie Snyder/WA said…: Pat: I've given up on my bread maker. The loaf is always to dense and heavy. I love the breads you dip like at olive garden. This bread has that chewing, bite and pul,l crust and the inside is soft and a little spungie. Now there's a word for you. This recipe says you have to use unbleached all purpose flour not sifted. I'm into it for two loaves and both are and were yummy.

At 8:19am on November 24, 2011, Debbie Snyder/WA said…: Pat: I used the French Bread recipe from Martha Stewart.com. and followed these instructions....http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/2009/03/11/baking-bread-in-a-dutch-oven. Not hard just time comsuming. I wish the bread were more airy now that I've cut into it...I'm going to look for another recipe. Will let you know what I find.
