GabySan, here is a link of the long arm machine set up

that my husband put together for me to do quilting. On page 1 and 2, you can see some of my quilting on the practice piece. I can't spend much time doing FMQ because of my job, but on page 15 you can see where I did a little better. I have done four quilts (baby) on my machine so far and it seems to go easier each time. So, practice, practice, practice is the key. BTW, I put my practice piece on the wall of my quilting room (spare bedroom) as a reminder of what I did when I started.
