Hello and Welcome from outside St. Louis, Mo. I've been sewing since about 14 yrs. old and started quilting over 44 yrs. ago. Lots of knowledgeable people on here, all are willing to share and help.

I used to use my Grandmas treadle machine too - That comment was what prompted my greeting to you. Wish I still had it - it was a New Home which now i understand is Janome. I guess I've come full circle now, cause I bought a nice Janome last year which I have enjoyed using. The auto feed walking foot is probably a good trade off for the treadle, in the current stream I'm in.
Welcome!!

Wow, sound like your a pro to me. Have fun sewing! Doris
I'm new to quilting. I want to do some fancy stitches on the front of the quilt but not the back. I thought I would use a tear away stablizer and do the fancy stitching. Like stippling.sp.L? Do you think this will work. I plan on stitching in the ditch when I have the batting and the front done. I'm having a hard time explaining this but would appreciate any help I can get. I had a cousing that lived in Baton Rogue LA and she just recently moved to Illinois. Doris

Thanks for the welcome. I'min Fort Gratiot by Port Huron. Occasionally get to or through Lapeer, I think you have a quilt shop there, don't you? I think I visited with friends there. Maybe I will again too. I'm making cloth bags now for the senior center for hand outs at our quilt show in May. Jan
