Your quilt is spectacular, is it hard to do this or do you program into the LA and it does the work
This is not a dumb question! There are no dumb questions! If you want to know something, you should ask. I think LA do come in different sizes, but I am not sure. I know that there are machines called Mid-Arms and these are smaller than a LA. LAs are like sewing machines in that they come in a wide variety of price ranges and features. The computerized ones can be programmed and they basically just do the work with minimal supervision. I think others are just manual.
Thanks for the compliment!
Yes, LA's do come in different sizes and many different brands. You can get them with a computer or without. Even with the computer you can still do the LA work free motion, as I did with most of the one in this post. When using the computer program/designs you still have to watch for tension issues, thread breakage, bobbins running out etc. You can't walk too far away from it for very long. Oh, and learning ---- takes practice, practice and more practice. But is so much fun.
