I am always a little apprehensive when I get ready to load a quilt on my frame. Sometimes I make loading mistakes and have to redo, but that is all in the learning process. I keep a practice piece attached to the side and use it before quilting the quilt. I can check my tension and give my arms a little warm up before starting. This helps ease me into the swing of things. I always wonder after, why did it take me so long?
