All the longarms stitch the same way, up and down , up and down, and up and down. Take a look at Cindy Stowe's quilts and you will see that your machine has everything you need. Cindy and I worked together over the phone to work out all the issues with her machine, which she purchased used. I believe the biggest problem was her poles on her frame. The poles had been treated with glavanizing material which left residue on the poles even after scrubbing. She had to sand them down thoroughly with steal wool to get all of that off. I am not sure what she conditioned them with afterwards or if she did but she is a perfect person to get in touch with!!!!! Good luck! You can PM me or Cindy.
