Re: quilting-what's it take?

Dear Cindy, I want to apologize on behalf of any and all of the folks
who said
unkind t hings to you in emails. How rude! and how unnecessary. I
would go out
and buy a long arm in a heartbeat if I could, dues or no dues. And who
is to say
what is "right" time for one to "deserve" a better machine. For
heaven's sake, why
can't people just be happy for others and stop using the wonderful
gift of email to
ruin somebody's day. I for one am enjoying this thread. We are
discussing and
thinking and it's all about quilting. This is one of those wonderful
threads that gives us
a chance to see each other's "real" selves and understand a bit of the
motivations
of the others. I appreciate your questions. And I'm happy for you with
your new machine.
Wish I had one. And I bet so do all the others who gave you grief.
Just forget about them and don't
let them cause you any distress. You're one of "us" -- quilters.
That's all that
matters, cuz with family it's all good.

Hugs,
Sunny

I have one of those really nice machines. I never for a moment thought it
would make me an instant artist. It's made me a better sewer because I
don't get frustrated with it like I have with all my other machines. There
are features that it has that I use every single day. There are also
wonderful features that I will never use.

I worked really hard for a lot of years to be able to afford this really
nice machine and I'll make no apologies for having it. I also still buy
tons of patterns, magazines, fabric and tools just because I'm still so
excited about it all.

I will apologize for having brought up a subject that has touched such a
nerve. I'm a little flummoxed at the emails I've gotten because people
think I'm bragging about being able to afford a long-arm when I apparently
haven't "paid my dues" long enough to deserve one.

I don't think that owning a long arm machine will magically make me into an
artist who can do the work that I saw at the show last week. I will never
be able to do that kind of work because I don't consider myself an artist.
I'm a decent enough craftsman, but no way an artist.

I should have divided the two topics into two seperate posts: the exciting
show that I saw and I am looking at maybe buying a long arm. That way no
one would have gotten confused thinking I thought that a long arm would
instantly transform me.

OK, I'll shut up now.

Cindy
