Wow 40 machines!!! :D

Re pics, if you upload jpegs it can take a while but there's a photo resize thing you can download online - it does lose some resolution but not much and it makes it much faster. Hang on, I'll get you the link.

Here it is http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Click on it and follow the directions.

Then go to pictures here on the board, create new topic, type your msg click attach files at the bottom, find the one you want and click on it. You can do 3 at a time. Hope this is clear! :D

Thanks K3n - I shall give that a go later today. - machines become like quilts, you start by saying you want one old treadle cos you learnt on one as a girl and before you know it there are machines everywhere, in hallways, lounge, bedrooms, under beds and on down to the garage. I love their history and Queenie my Bebarfald Bluebird from the thirties pieces better than the latest big Janome 6600 quilter that I have.

Hello, and welcome from Missouri, in the middle of the US. I have a couple machines, also, but no where near 40! Have to save my space for fabric! :lol:

Well, Shemjo, the fabric is another story - ooooh dear! I was a potter before I became a quilter and I thought the clay bug was bad enough but nothing prepared me for the quilting bug and all the things that come with it. Add into the mix a manx cat who loves to eat thread and I am in real trouble. He particularly loves gold thread and ate a whole lot once and I had to rush him to the vet for a stomach pump. No one told me quilting could be dangerous :)
