don't be afraid to experiment... sometimes people can find their own comfort zone.. i know i load my quilt in perhaps a very silly way, sometimes it takes a bit, but the main thing is, that if it stitches well,, just keep it up and find your comfort zone.. i'm a loop de loop girl... i need to invest in a "stitch regulator"... and will someday, but for now, i'm fine.. as for having the gammil.... my friend got the "computer program" and it's the best thing she's done,,, once that's learned. it's load, set and watch the thing go.. beautiful pantos built right into the unit...
have fun, don't be scared...
