In the next couple of weeks, I'm going to take a class. It really all depends on their schedule. I guess I'll skip the dissolving thread. We'll wait and see if I am any good at it, or if I enjoy it and go from there. I do like the idea of having it basted there anyway. I usually spray baste on a big table at work, but I haven't had much success with it. The quilt I'm working on now is cotton thru-and-thru and it still didn't baste well. It looks good now that I've stabilized it; I finally started quilting it today and it's holding together after a LOT of pressing. I learn something on every quilt.
I really love quilting on my little Pfaff. When I tried using a larger machine on a frame, it was very frustrating. I don't have that frame anymore and I don't miss it. My husband - the enabler! - wants me to get a long arm. I think I'd be happier with a big ole sit-down machine. But it takes a long time to quilt when my time is so limited I think learning how to long-arm will be faster. I'd like to combine the two for the ultimate quilting!!!
