I am not a LAQ, so my comments are purely as an observer. From the left to the right side I definitely see improvement-greater confidence shows, you are "really beginning to get the hang of it" in how to move it. One thing I have heard over and over on quilt shows featuring a long armer, is relax the "death grip". I even heard one say she kept seeing spots and would have to sit down, then she realized she kept holding her breath when she started stitching! So many tutorials and long arm groups online to help you, you're going to do great, happy for you!
