Well… I have the greatest husband ever.  For my Birthday and Christmas gift this year, I got a new Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen.  We’re still awaiting the side tables, but she’s here and she works great.  She doesn’t appear to be fussy about thread as I’ve tried a variety, and I already had to call Handi Quilter for a question.  They called back within an hour and my problem was solved.  So not fussy and great customer service, what’s not to love.

So, I’m just practicing right now.  It’s like driving a big rig, after tooling around in a golf cart… we’ll see some samples soon I’m sure.
