    :D Hi! Just got DSL (instead of dial-up) so I wanted to "visit" with other quilters. Why do I quilt? It's cheaper than therapy. I am a teacher -- and although it is never boring, it sucks the life right out of you! Quilting is a way for me to do something for myself -- and I see the fruits of my labor every time I piece or quilt. I do a little business quilting for friends -- and I sell quilts. I have to sell them or they would overrun the house! Hey, if any machine quilter out there has some tips to improve stitch in the ditch quilting, I would really appreciate it! I don't have an expensive quilting set up (like a Gammill or such) -- just a Janome 1600P and a Gracie frame.
    Thanks, and good quilting!
