You will enjoy it. Dry erase board for drawing designs to train my brain where to go. Has helped me so much. I look on here and then try to draw the designs that others here use, and practice drawing it until I have it in my brain, and then it is easy to do it on the quilt.

try looking for a group on Yahoo...Homequiltingsystems There will be lots of quilters who have the same or similar frames. My favorite resource for free motion quilting on a frame... www.pajamaquilter.com She will get you started with no pressure. She got me started with the white board. (just remember to use the LOW ODOR kind! ask me how I know! lolol) Congrats and good luck..

Slow and easy. Don't expect too much too soon. Like everything in life, it takes time to learn. You can do it!!
