weimboyz Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hello Everyone; I just wanted to say hello! I am so happy I found this site. I have been doing some home dec sewing and machine embroidery for a couple of years now and would like to learn to Machine Quilt! I have not been successful in finding classes in my town. What I have found demands a 45 min drive and when you have a full time job (that demands I stay over on a blink of an eye) it becomes tough. I will love this site!!! I have been reading a lot and I am eager (and a little bit scared) to start my own quilt. I will start with something small. I currently own 2 machines: Designer 1 USB and a Brother PC8000D. I hope to be able to learn a lot so that one day I justify the purchase of a long arm machine. I have seen such beautiful work on this site, I am very inspired!! Thank you all and hope to post again soon. Olivia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigletaz Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Welcome, I'm a newbie too and am getting my machine soon. APQS often does road shows. They are listed on their website. Getting to "play" on a machine is so much fun. I highly recommend attending one or a conference. This is the best site and the best bunch of quilters. So much help and support.

chickenscratch Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Where in North Carolina are you? I'm sure there are some dealers on the east coast, and the Nashville AQS show is coming up August 22-26. If you're on the west side of NC it wouldn't be too bad of a drive to go to Nashville. It is a really nice show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weimboyz Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I am about 10 minutes outside of Raleigh. I will be meeting family in Orlando, FL in September, doing the Disney thing. I couldn't believe my luck, these shows are at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
