    Am loving it!
    I normally just quilt in straite or wavey lines as my confidence is not so good for other designs yet. Iv tried but the skill just isn't there. So gave up!
    But I gave block#1 ago and it wasn't to bad at all.
    I love the idea of a catalogued progress on one quilt to. Roll on December wen I can see that progress!!

    Leah- when did you get the Juki Exceed? Are you still using the other Juki?
    Did you keep your Janome you used to quilt on?
    And do you like the Juki better than the Bernina for piecing? (You used to say you pieced on you Bernina even when you quilted on the Janome.)

  7. Leah Day says:

    Yes, I still have both Juki machines. Nope, I didn't keep the Janome Horizon 8900, but do have the Janome 15000, which is an embroidery machine. Keep in mind, this is just my experience with these machines and my preferences so the best thing to do is try them with a local dealer and see what you like best.

    Hmm…piecing on the Bernina and the Juki F400 with the patchwork foot is really so similar, I can hardly tell one from the other. I guess I still prefer the Bernina 1230 simply because it's such a sweet, precise little machine. Again – all my opinion, but it's definitely worth trying a 1130 or 1230 just to see how amazing they were. So precise and solidly built!
