Thanks for the info, guys. It's good to know so I don't buy a machine to do something it can't. I have a series I, and that is not big enough to do blocks. I was thinking if the Series II could do that stuff, I could sell the I and buy the II for not much more in floor space or $$. In my situation, it would be hard to justify single purpose machines, but it sure would be nice to have all that stuff!
