:oops: Made a HUGE difference! I was quilting a 104 x110 quilt and it was wrestling an alligator! :-D |
It could possibly be the chair , im sitting at the dining room table using the chairs , will trade it for computer chair at high height , see if that helps , thankyou .

Height and posture makes a huge difference. Get yourself as high to that table as you can, so your arms actually rest at a 90 degree angle to your machine bed.
|
I found when I was learning I tense up- it's the pressure you are putting n yourself.
Relax, shrug your shoulders every so often and enjoy the movement of the quilt. Take breaks and admire your work. caress the quilt, it will relax you. I get into my quilting. :) |
Just relax. I'm sure everything will turn out fine.
