Welcome from the Adirondack Mountains of northern NY state. I think you will love it here, both for quilting ideas and help as well as personal support. Congratulations on your upcoming new addition.

Hi Rose. Waving wildly from the other side of the state! Oh, I am jealous. The Ben Franklin in Monroe is a wonderful place. So is the one in Redmond. I lived many, many decades on the East side of Seattle... and attended lots of arts and crafts classes at the Redmond Ben Franklin. I miss it immensely.
You came to the right place since you are new to quilting. Everyone here is very friendly and VERY helpful. If you have a question, just asked... you will get an answer or many answers.![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
As a collector of vintage machines might I suggest securing a Featherweight for toting to your classes. A little pricier than a 301 but uses the same presser feet and bobbins and power cord. Seattle area has a lot of vintage machines to choose from that you can easily find on Craigslist. All of my vintage machines except one or two are from craigslist.

I can't beat the price of my 301: free. My MIL has given to me on a permanent loan. I can keep it, and use it, as long as I want. But, if I ever get tired of it or don't want it anymore I have to give it back to her. And, FOR NO REASON am I to sell it or give it to anyone else. I can live with those rules. ![Big Grin](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
