I worked with it alot today. I feel ready to actually do a real quilt. I have been practicing other more complicated freehand styles other than meandering and loops as I have done lots of that on my Sewing machine (Bernina QE440) and don't need practice with that. We all know that if we can do fmq on our sewing machines, we sure can use a long arm! I can't wait to do a real quilt now. I have a black and white and red top almost done. Let me know about your progress, too.
