Farmchick! One I like your avatar name...thank you so much for the above tutorial! It always helps when I have a visual. I would love to know where the person in the tutorial got that ironing mat! Does anyone out there have one that big with the grid? This looks like it could make squaring up easier! I know I can make one that large but I really like the grid and I would rather quilt than take the time to make it. My practicing is creating an addicted monster....all I do is dance with my machine and when I am not I dream about designs and how to accomplish them. My poor husband, we talk then next thing you know I am telling him about my day at the long arm! I made some flowers, feathers and just designs yesterday.....so much fun, I can't believe it! Now to get up there and begin my day....psst. The next couple of days is going to be hard as hubby is taking me to high mountain lake for 3 days.....how do I leave my sewing room? I have so much to learn in long arm quilting its hard to break away! Thanks for all this feed back!
