Eat sleep quilt!
I little sample banner I did on my longarm. I wanted to test some of the fills on the computer to see how they stitched out. I am sure there is a better process for this but this is what I did.
I created the words in Art and Stitch and converted it to a file compatible with my machine.
I then stitched out the letters with the computer on the longarm. I wentt back to fill in each letter by tracing each letter and cropping and scaling the fill design until i thought it would look nice. Then I went back and traced each letter several times free hand.
the rest I did without the computer. I tried some new thinks I have been practicing on paper but have never stitched out.
