For those who are long arm quilters, or who are familiar with the process:

I'd like to know more about LA quilting. I'm not at all interested in doing it myself - I'd much rather spend the money on fabriccs and patterns than a machine, have no room for one, and don't want to spend the time learning to do it, but would like to understand how it's actually done.

Is there an online resource you can recommend? Recently, I had a quilt done by Charisma (who is fabulous, btw) and asked if she could just load it upside down. She accepted the challenge - but I really didn't know it was a challenge! In my uneducated mind, it's no different than right side up. But if you read the comments from other quilters on the thread, evidently I asked for something that isn't quite as easy as I thought...

What is ruler work? How do you fit a panto design to the top you are quilting?

Maybe in part because I don't see myself ever doing it, I want to understand what I'm asking and having done when I send or drop a quilt off.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give on where I might find basic info!
