As some of you know, I had ordered the Grace Pinnacle Frame and the Juki 2010TL, well, she has finally arrived. She is all I think about and trying to get her together. One part was broken, but the Grace Company shipped a replacement part out yesterday. I can hardly wait to have her complete and take her for a test drive. Just wanted to share my excitement. My DH had a put a system on layaway for me and then passed away suddenly. He was all about my quilting and expecially my gadgets. I feel his presence with me as I work on getting this together...he was a good teacher to me in how to put things together! By the way, my best friend and I have named her Ms. Fondue! Because she is going to quilt as smooth as creamy chocolate!

Good luck with Ms. Fondue and I'm impressed with your progress. I'm sorry that you lost your DH and I know he is impressed with your progress, too.

That's exciting! It's gonna look great and perform even better. You will have so much fun with her.

I have a chance to get a system myself but have been putting it off. I know crazy huh. My husband has been watching me sew and has been very supportive and offered to buy me a system. He even googled them and came up with a couple possibilities but I just don't know which one to go for since I am so new to quilting. So many choices, other than the price range, how do you choose which one to get? I narrowed it down to maybe 3 systems I think that are under 2 grand but I just cant make up my mind.
