Avante...

Well......
This little baby followed me home this past week.
I had a mid arm machine... well, it wasn’t mine. I was housing it for a friend who didn’t have the room in her house, and well, it kinda stayed here for like around 10 years. It was just a Pfaff sewing machine on an Inspira quilt rack. I had said I wasn’t gonna get one till after we move but things changed. A good friend got one for Christmas and it was SUCH a good deal, I went to look.
They are not making this model anymore and they need to clear out their stock. Parts and warranty are still honored and covered, they just came out with another name of one. 
It has an 18” throat. The other 5 1/2”. 
Here is the first one I’m working on. 


I would rather not do this part, I like to quilt by paycheck, it’s getting rather expensive. Especially when I have 15 waiting. I just got 3 back and it broke me. I felt sorry for a single mom who just moved here from Kansas and needed some extra cash for Christmas. It was rather on the ridiculous expensive side. Oh well, hope she got something real good for her son. I told myself if I want to keep making them, I have to finish them completely. It took me around almost 3 hours from start to finish just to quilt it. On the other machine it would have taken 8+ hours, trust me I had done some that lasted days.
