Very nice!!!! You mean it is really true that it takes that long to get good at quilting on a long arm???? I got mine in April and am still trying to master meandering. I am just sooooo impatient!!!!!!
It doesn't take seven years, but the more you do the better you are. Sometimes it takes awhile just to "see" what to do on a quilt. I had thought for a while that I would design something for the computer system I have, but in the end all the design was done freehand.
