I agree with the basting spray use. It will help tremendously. Also agree, you might want to practice on something else before you tackle this project. I decided several months ago, that I would tackle smaller projects with my long arm to work on skills. Those quilts will go to local lap quilt charities while I am "learning". That way, I am also not wasting fabrics or my time. Seems like a win/win situation.
Just relax and enjoy the process. We all have a little "wrinkle" or two from time to time. When the project is completed, bet you won't even be able to find your "boo-boos" .
Keep posting your beautiful work.
I'm definitely going to try the basting spray. That's a good idea about making small projects for charities. Would love to have a long arm...maybe some day. I've thought about the John Flynn System, but have heard pros & cons. I have a home sewing machine that does FMQ. You'll have to send me pictures of your long arm projects.
