Thanks for the good thoughts everyone. This has been such a journey for me. I'm very excited to have a long arm. I have always quilted my own quilts on my domestic machine which took me about 6 weeks to complete the quilting. I did an edge to edge quilting in one day with my longarm!! I have several other quilt tops to do but want to learn more of the computer aspect of this. So I have another practice small quilt loaded up and ready for action. I can't wait to do some free motion quilting but promised myself I'd learn what I could with the robotics first. I'm not fast by any means.
I still care for my mom, (93) and that takes most of my time so my moments with my new wonderful machine are limited. But I'll take what I can get at this point. My next goal is to learn how to turn this into some fun!!
