My mother nor any family member I was around, whom I was aware of, ever quilted. When my great grandmother passed away, several quilts and quilt blocks were found in an old trunk. The blocks were given to me to do whatever with. I decided to divide them up to make 5 small quilts, one me my mother, sister, both my daughters and one for myself.. I was hooked! When I first layed eyes on a quilting machine, I knew someday, I would have to have one. My husband had meetings he had to attend in Nashville, TN last summer. In the same hotel was the APQS Quilting Expo. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I got to test drive about every quilting machine on the market, even took a class. I had no idea I would be lucky enough to get to have one. My husband surprised me by asking if I would like to have one and if I would rather have the computerized HandiQuilter. Knowing he has no concept of what these things can cost I told him he better ask the price before he agreed to buying me one. After inquiring about the price he said "well, I figure I am saving money in the longrun because you are going to want that too and I will have to pay more later". I became the proud owner of my HQsixteen with the Prostitcher. I am having so much fun. Last Christmas I gave 9 quilts away as gifts. Life is Good!
I own the following HQ machine: HQ Pro-Stitcher
