Hi from Minnesota!

Hello out there in quilt land! I've been quilting for almost twenty years, learning with my Mom and now showing my kids how to use a sewing machine. I'm a SAHM to four wonderful children ranging from 7 months to 9 years. Haven't actually completed many large quilts, but I have lots of patterns I want to try! Recently got bit by the vintage/antique machine bug and can't seem to stop looking for more. Great to be here!

You are in the right spot to learn many things, especially the old machines, although I am not in that category. Welcome from the beautiful mountains of western NC.

Another welcome from Southern California. The older machines are a lot of fun. I have a 1925 Damascus treadle that is a lot of fun to use. Also have a 1950, Singer 15-91 which is the machine my mother taught me to sew on when I was 8 years old. It still works very well and I love to use it as much as my Janome MC 6600P.

Welcome from NW Iowa. I am 20 miles south of the Minnesota border and I also love my vintage Singers 15-91 and 301. Their stitching is superior to my modern sewing machine.
