Thanks, everyone!
It took me about 3 days to get it all together, but I think it will be worth the wait.
I bought some fabtic to practice fmq on and thought it would be great to load that practice fabric up first and pin baste it.
I thought I'd loaded everything correctly, but when I pulled the fabric off the rack, the were major problems.
* Not sure if I had everything loaded up correctly - the batting was fed across the middle pole which I think made it difficult to turn the poles.
* there were gaps all over the top of the quilt
PLEASE send me some tips, tricks, etc.
