Don't they provide an instruction book for the longarm and instruction books for any added on feature that you buy? My word it sounds like they kind of leave you high and dry! Boy, I'd be all over them like a blanket to provide me with decent instructions. Fabric and batting are too expensive to be fooling around trying figure out your longarm. You need that to practice your quilting designs. Just saying.
She gave me the instruction manual for the machine. I've had to reach for it a couple of times to figure something out. But, I'm not good with written directions. I'm more of a visual learner. Show me something and I can do it. Tell me about it and I'm lost. Give me written instructions and I after it has driven me crazy, I usually can figure it out. But, I am lazy. If someone can show me, why should I get all crazy with the written stuff? (Well, that is my line of thinking, anyway)
