Are you, by any chance, left handed....My son is my LAmer, and he is left handed. He can't teach me one single solitary thing--everything in his mind is back-assards to me.....When I get ready to quilt, I have to pull out my CD or DVD (whatever) on my machine and watch it. Add two hours to my loading time for that little step.....and needless to say, I wait a lot for him to get over here and do some quilting for me. Sometimes I just don't feel like "learning", so I go out and start piecing another quilt. or go load the dishwasher, or bake some cookies.....
Congratulations on your acquiring a LA, and learning to use it.
