Thanks for the links, I've been looking at them. I really like crosshatching so I want to learn that.
The part I had the most problem is going from front to back and can't see where the line of quilting that I need to meet is. Another reason to get micro handles and come down closer to the work.
I did two quilts in the last couple of days and I feel better about them. Overall, from loading on, it was easier to do. They were pantos.
I do my best in piecing and try to get all the seams to match where they should. It wasn't always that way and I guess I need to remember that. I have to start somewhere.
jdavis, I am so sorry to hear that your work of art didn't get the quilting you thought it would, and should, have. I have one being quilted right now by Green Fairy. I didn't have a LA yet when I sent it to her at the beginning of January but, I still wouldn't be doing it myself yet and ruining a quilt that I love.
