Today I went to the quilt shop to dicuss what I need to do prior to taking my long arm quilting class.
The lady is so very helpful & great w/suggesstions.
I need to buy some more backing fabric,what I purchased will be too small but was told piecing the backing fabris is ok.
I did purchased my battening @ her shop.
Since my boarder fabric is a deep burgandy red,I did decide to prewash.

I got my first hands on peak of the long arm I will be working on...HUGE !!
What an amazing machine,I am looking forward to my class Monday.

I would enjoy hearing from others about your first long arm class.
Did you continue to go back & then rent the long arm to do more quilts ?
I just can not imagine having one in my home,I'd have to built an addition !!

Enjoy your class.

Sounds exciting.

Having a long arm and a frame is a dream for me that will never happen. I will probably not even ever touch one either. Have fun learning how to use it.

Ditto for me too! I do admire those that have one and the talent they have to create some beautiful quilts!
