The frown only appears on the to be quilted blocks. Yes, the EZ3 is a hand quilting frame, and this is the biggest one I have done yet, and only the second attempt at hand quilting. I enjoy it most of the time, I just wish I had not picked this quilt to continue learning on. It is the bear paw pattern and there are lots of seam allowances that are very hard to stitch through. I also think I put more quilting in it than I should have for the size and my experience level.
Thank you all so much for the words of wisdom and encouragement. I will keeping poking away at it until it's done.
