1) Since I am fairly new to quilting, I find that alot of the abbreviations people use are confusing to me. Is there a Key somewhere that tells me what abbrev. mean? I grasped DH means dear husband lol! However, some leave me puzzled.
2) I have discovered that LA machines are WAY out of my price league right now and even the quilt frames are. What can I do to quilt the first real quilt I have made (king size for my newlywed daughter) on my home machine? What will make it easier? I roll up the thing but the space between the arm and the needle is not that much and to start in the center, as I am told you should, leaves alot of fabric on the "arm" side of the machine. What can I do? Who do all of you do?
