I bought my longarm from my friends sister. There are no LQS around here to take lessons from. The next quilt show near me is in August, in Michigan. Thank you for all your suggestions, I have seen some of the books on amazon, but I was wondering which one was best for beginners, I saw something a while ago, on the internet where the segments were broken down, but I could not find it. I will look at amazons for some of the ones suggested. Thank you all (I am from the north or I would have said Ya'll) for your help.
