My hardest things to conquer are regulating speed, stitch length, and a wonky bobbin thread that wants to peek thru the top.

Any hints or words of wisdom?
Only 2 years???? It will take me more like 5. I will have enough test scraps to pot holder the whole world and I will still be TERRIBLE. I am thinking I just may have to resort to my own computerized LAQ machine. :roll: :roll: :roll: Good luck :!:
