Well, have forgotten about the blog til someone wanted to see some of the quilting I have done....Have lots to add and want to share it with you.  Just came back from Zanesville, Ohio where I took a class in maintenance on my Gammill and boy did I learn a lot.
The machine is running great now...no thread breakage and just purrs.  Teaching someone else to use the machine reminds me of all the things that I have learned and I love to share.
