When the fabric is full, change color of thread, reload quilt, and practice more comparing your quilting. Wait till you have mastered the machine before you buy lots of tools. See what you need. You do need a small pair of scissors to trim the threads on
top as you go so you do not sew them into your pattern. Have a great time!
