Gals YOU TUBE has great video of how to load, sew and make the quilt once you have a long arm. One even shows how to load bobbin with thread. I am finding some GREAT help on my self taught quilting situation of NO friends here. I join quilting guild here but NO car to attend so life is getting rough....if I didn't have my internet..I would be really dumb about things I'm making! Good luck with Long Arm and I hope all goes well!
