I've had my long arm ten years, but was working full-time outside my home, so quilts I did for customers were pretty plain and no time to do my own in order to practice, but when I retired I hoped to have more time to do my own quilts....not!
There really has to be a little bit of artistic talent within in order to do some of the patterns and I don't have it. So, mostly I do stippling, meandering and pantos.
