I bought my Nolting from them also. I hope you enjoy it. Carrie is a great teacher and a lot of help. Good Luck

Thank for all the encouragement. The Crown Jewel is going in my dining room for now. Moved the dining table to the side, LOL!! We don't use this formal dining room much. After moving furniture around I have a 15 foot by 7 foot wide cleared space for it. After my 2 boys graduate high school in 2 years it will be going to a bedroom. Today I am preparing quilt sandwiches to practice on this weekend. Also cutting strips for binding since I have to learn to do that also. My longarm training retreat is September 28 and 29th. Thanks for the suggestions to give the practice quilts to an animal shelter. Love this idea!!

Congratulation on your first long arm. Learn as much as you can from classes. My husband bought me Sunshine 16 and there was no classes offer, etc. I truly wish it did so I could enjoy my machine better. Good luck and Enjoy!

Congradulations! I know how it is when I get something new, I feel like a kid with a new toy. I am so excited to get started with it. I know you will love it.

Lucky you! I wish I had room for a long-arm. I had thought of putting it in the attic playroom, but the ceiling slopes too much to be able to set one up. I will just continue to send some of my quilts to my friend who has one, got to a near by shop and rent one, and do the rest on my dsm.

Congrats!!! I just bought a baby jane and majestic frame. Works ok but wish I had spent the extra and gotten the Crown jewel. It was my first quilting machine. I used to hand quilt but fingers don't work as well now. I really like the
avante but that is so much higher price wise. Hope you enjoy yours.
and everyone is right. Practice, Practice, Practice.
