I need to spend more time practicing yet to perfect more styles--but that will come with time. Good luck to you with your new machine.
What do you practice on? I took a class at the LQS on the longarm, but I am not sure enough of myself to quilt a quilt. I'm kind of at a loss.
I actually am the Hotel Manager at a Casino/Hotel and they have a Rummage sale each spring for the local Community and employees and I buy old bedsheets for .50 each and I cut them down to manageable sizes and use them with leftover batting scraps. It is an inexpensive way to practice. I was very nervous to do my first quilt but once I got the first one done, I was fine. Good luck to you.
