I've been a longarm quilter for about 10 years now. The best advise I can give to any one who is new to that type of quilting or is having problems is to spend the money and go to a few classes from one of the well-known longarm teachers around the country. Whatever money you spend on the classes will be returned to you in knowledge, tips and more ideas than you can ever imagine. I found that by attending just 2 basic classes I learned more than I did in 9 months on my own. Had I known that when I bought my Gammill, I would have been up and a functional business in 6 months rather than the 1 1/2 years it ended up taking me. The most important thing to remember is to practice ...practice ...practice ...
