Love to see these videos. I bought an Altair machine from MGQS and received it in Dec. & I am ashamed to say, I haven't set it up yet. I had some health issues and now I am ready to sew on it. I have unboxed it, but still haven't used it. I have used a Bernina in the past and am not as familiar with Baby Lock. I know I am being silly and just need to jump in and experiment. I am afraid of doing something wrong and damaging my new machine. I am a sixty-seven yr old grandma and have sewed for 40 yrs. I know I am being ridiculous and am working today on straightening my sewing room so I can put the machine on my sewing cabinet. I hope you continue to do the Altair videos to help us new machine owners. I live in West Virginia & it's so sad I can't come in to MGQS for guidance.

Hi. Thank you for the videos. I was wondering if you could do a series on the Baby Lock Vesta, please. I recently purchased this machine from my local dealer and can use some educational videos on all the wonderful features. My local store is closing and moving. Have a nice day.
