Knock on wood - I may be ready
 

I've had my Janome Artistic 18 since July. I've spent the last 3 hours practicing pantographs on my wide muslin. Got my fingers crossed that it may be time to load a panel and try a 'real' practice quilt tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Good for you! Nothing will help you more than that practice.:thumbup:

Julie, I've got to do that too. We've quilted some before, but with the groovy boards. And 2 paper pantographs. They are okay, but we're[husband and I] not learning to do our own thing. Barny

Have fun remember to relax along with the practice. Light hands. shoulders down,stretch breaks. You will do great!
