Good for both of you :) It is a good thing to keep your mind working and a learning curve is just the thing to keep you both sharp!

Having the tools you love and use are never crazy.

No time like the present to learn.

I have a dear friend who has the Bernina Quilt Frame, machine and Quilt Motion. It takes a while to get used to it, but she loves it and the quilting she does is magnificent! I looked into it (I have the Bernina Quilt Frame and use my little 440QE on it) but I'm not ready to spend that much money yet.
For those of you who don't know about Quilt Motion - it is sold for other machines under different names - is is control board that goes on your carriage under your machine. There is also a control that fastens to your quilt frame handle and you must use a computer to run it all. You select the design, designate the size of your block and it quilts it for you.
Good luck to you and your SIL. Can't wait to see the beautiful work you will be producing with your new set up!

You're not crazy - you're lucky! Being able to afford one good machine, much less two, is a dream for anyone. Enjoy your good fortune and quilt like crazy!!

This one made me laugh. I too think the same way.

Why would we think you are crazy? We all are enablers! Enjoy!

Wow! You really had fun in a short time. And now you have someone to learn with. That should make the learning curve easier to cope with. Congratulations! You don't have a problem making decisions, and you're not crazy!

well, that was a boost to the local economy, wasn't it? I will be anxiously watching for updates on your use of the new machines!
