I just tried on a friends or the first time she's fabulous and letting me do one quilt a week!! I'm so excited....we use panographs and I found the simple one very easy. try on a busy pattern first!! Think about it unless you make a lot of light colored quilts your stressing over not much. I don't mind practicing on my quilts because they are lap quilts for the living room. You'll relax more if your quilting is hidden by a busy design you wont be so critcal!! Happy quilting!
