1. Wind my own bobbins. My machine uses the large, M size bobbins.
2. Both if you are talking about either thread or batting. I prefer Poly thread. Don't care which batting...customer's choice on both.
3. Jumped right in there.
I went to youtube and watched every video I could find.. I didn't care the make of the machine. My first longarm was a converted industrial machine (big green monster)...so brand was not relevant. I now have a TinLizzie18LS & love it.

1: Wind your own bobbins or buy pre-wound ones?

3: Did you take classes to learn or did you just hop in and teach yourself?
I am debating about attending one of the HQ classes at their headquarters vs buying the DVD's vs attending an educational event in a nearby state.
