I have only recently started learning machine quilting. I usually have my quilting done by a long-armer. But I am working on smaller projects now and learning to machine quilt on my DSM. I don't have much of a space so smaller projects are best for now. I haven't taken a class on it, though they are offered in LQSs around me. I would like to sign up for one to get my feet wet. I just finished a lap size top for me and a larger top that I plan to donate or give to someone (not keeping it because I don't like the colors). My friend who has done some large bed quilts on her DSM is urging me to try it on mine. Not too sure I want to do that big of a project though. Maybe watching the video someone suggested will give me the oomph I need.
