Thanks for all the responses. The quilt hanging behind my machine is a bargello quilt. This is the first time I have ever been on a machine like this for more than 5 minutes, but it is really easy to follow a pattern with the machine. I did start quilting a real quilt last weekend, but I am not done yet. I need a lot more practice.

For all of you who say you don't have room, I live in a one bedroom apartment. The frame I have can either be used at queen size (110") or lap size (60"). Since most of the quilts I make right now are lap size, I have it set up at the smaller size. Later when I move to a place with more space I will probably set it up in the queen size. I have found that the machine moves very easily, and I am getting the hang of it, but there are so many different things to remember to do with this new set-up that I didn't have to do before, that I usually forget at least one thing.

Happy quilting.

This is exactly what DH & the kids got me for Mother's Day!
The machine came in on Monday, the frame should be here tomorrow. :D :D
Was it hard to set up? How does the stitch regulator work??
I can't wait to try it out!!
What size needles are you using?

Congrats on yours! :-)

How fun, Catchergirl: I'm :mrgreen: with envy at your new quilting machine. It looks like you're already a whiz kid at making animals and trees. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
