Sounds like an experience that could either end a friendship or cement it for life.

Recently was showing my sister how to use the long arm. I could not believe how many things went wrong while we were quilting the first quilt she brought! We even wound up with a hole in the backing...but it was at the bottom of the quilt top, so that turned out ok. And she learned what not to do And what to do for those mistakes.

Second quilt was going much better until we reached the last row. Then a nasty 'flute' showed up. There was no way to fix that on the long arm, so the quilt came off the frame. Luckily (?), I was able to show her two of my quilts that had been taken off the frame for the exact same reason. They haven't made it back on the frame yet.

And we are still talking.
