I think we all felt that way! I got over my fear when I put some cheap sheets on the machine (I bought them at the local thrift store) and drew the design that was on the quilt I wanted to do -- I practiced the techniques there and then went for it. You're going to see every wobble and problem...but IGNORE them.......just keep going. Finish the "quilt" and take it off the machine -- now -- can you see those wobbles??? More than anything -- have FUN with it!!!!
