I guess mine would be called a "mid-arm" Nolting Fun Quilter. When I got it, I played with it for a while and then, due to my father's illness at the time, I had to stop sewing for a while. When I started again, I quilted everything I could get my hands on. Table cloths, window coverings, quilts for everyone that Christmas. I re-quilted things I had only tied before, I used old bedspreads and put new tops on them. I would tell you, just do it....and relax. Learn from your mistakes, find out what you like, try new things...years from now, my kids won't be saying what odd quilting there is on their quilts, hopefully, they'll be saying, "My mom made this quilt for me...and this one...and this one...and one for my friend's birthday...and this one for the cat..."
