I have not gotten proficient with my long arm yet. It does take a lot of practice. If you don't do it often you have to practice up before you do the quilting on something important. I notice you have Scottish fold kittens. About a month ago my DH opened the overhead door in his shop and just outside the door there were two little kitten faces looking at him from the tall grass. They got scared and ran away. They were two little tabby cats with folded ears. One of them came back and imposed himself into the group of our outside cats and made himself to home at the food dish. He wouldn't let us near him. But eventually my DH caught him and took him to a local vet and asked if they would doctor him (had stickey eyes and nose) and find a home for him. The ears weren't short folded ears like yours but were longer ears with the points folded down. The vet took him. Hope he found a good home for him. linda
