I just upgraded to a true long arm after using a Juki 2010 and got tired of the turning routine. I used it with Quilt Motion. I am transferring that to the Viking Mega Quilter that I just purchased. To learm I use any old inexpensive pieces of fabric, old sheets that I could find. The practice quilts were cut up and given to my local SPCA for pet beds. They were most appreciative.
