I think I must have had that same White sewing machine! Made me just insane trying to piece quilts with it! Bought a Viking and have never looked back. And like you, the person who bought my White was just pleased as punch with it. A great home dec machine but that was about it!

Great quilt! I own two White sewing machines, a White serger, a Janome sewing machine and a Janome serger. Also still have my first machine, a Singer 404. I really love them all. I think the key is keeping them in good working condition. Right now, my White serger is sick and in need of the hospital and my Singer could use a good cleaning. Mostly I piece with my Janome MC4000 and quilt with the White heavy duty school machine (a very simple machine).
I'm glad you found a machine that makes you happy. Good luck.

jetayre: First of all .. don't be so hard on yourself. YOUR quilt looks great.. secondly: Woooohoooooo on a new machine. I did the same: had a brother that just kept locking up-so went and bought a Pfaff. Happy with it ? you bet; but I would never turn down an Elismo if it was given to me !LOL

I tend to agree with the poster who said to change out the last border. I would make it a green to represent leaves myself. You could audition different fabrics to find one to your liking. Many times when I don't like something and put it aside, I find it was the last addition that makes me not like it anymore.
I love the large florals and the other person who said that the quilting is going to bring it to life is so very right. THis is a great quilt and deserves to be finished.
I love the way you found reason to buy a new machine. That means you are determined to sew happily. Have fun with your choices and please show and tell again when you get it finished, ok?
