Another newbie

Also: I just wanted to add that I loved my first machine so much (it was the cheapest Brother I could find~ around $90...at Wal-Mart), that I had to upgrade. I got a Brother sewing and embroidery machine for Christmas this past year. I LOVE IT! This machine is probably not what you want to start out with. I recommend, like everyone else has said, to start out with the cheap machine. I still have my original one, and I still use it. I just decided there were a few bells and whistles that I wanted! :D

Congrats, and Welcome. I agree, get a machine, start out simple, Don't need a fancy machine. Go to your Library and read all you can on quilting, start simple and then take off. You will find a special world to explore. You are only limited by your imagination. Have no fear, there are seam rippers to. Just enjoy this amazing world of quilts and the special people that make them.
