Holon,
I have a Gammill Classic Plus. I love it. The only other machine I would consider would be the A-1. Not a pretty machine but it sure does run nicely. I do believe it's a bit less expensive than the Gammills. I am in an area that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a longarmer - we are oversaturated with long armers. Oh, well.

Herta when I teach my begining quilting class I have the students cut a 4 7/8" square then I have them cut it in half and sew to opposite fabric when the open it they have a 4 1/2" block. I wish you were closer I would be happy to help you out. please email with any other questions
hope this helps

Hi Gardenquilter....boy was I off. Where in the heck did I go wrong? I know 7/8" comes into play somewhere, and I guess I thought you had to add 7/8". Thank you for giving the right directions to Herta. I probably just confused her even more. I had looked at a book called "The Quilter's Pocket Reference" and for some reason came up with 5-3/8". I think I was supposed to add 7/8" to the finished size of the square instead of to the 4-1/2". Is that correct?

Sorry Herta!!

Hi Folks! I just joined a week or so ago-heard about this at the Quilt Show web site. I live in south Missisippi and have been quilting for about 5 or 6 years. I learned how to get started from watching Simply Quilts, then magazines and library books. I'm married with three sons-17, 19, and 20. The college boys just came home for the summer and the youngest will be a senior in high school. I've made about 20 quilts. My current project is a very large bargello that I've been working on for almost two years. It'll look awesome if I ever get it finished! This seems to be a pretty cool place to hang out.

Hey jtyree!!! I am also from Fenton, MI. I wonder if we know each other.... : -))

I just joined the forum about 2 weeks ago. I love to quilt (and also to embroidery, and all the other kinds of sewing too). I started quilting about 10 years ago. The biggest project that I have made (about 4 years ago) happens to be El's Quilt in a Day, Log Cabin quilt which I made for my daughter and her new hubby when they got married. It was between a queen and a king size. I have made wall hangings, jackets, lap throws and baby quilts. I made my hubby a John Deere throw. It ended up being the size of a twin quilt. I have 3 children, 6 grandchildren from my children and 6 from my husbands kids plus 1 step granddaughter. they range from 2 to 18. What a joy they are!

I am still learning to get around this site. It is probably very easy but I still feel a little confused. I'll get it though.
