I like mystery quilts and that one came out very well, both the pattern and your colour choices. Can you tell us where to find the pattern even though it won't be a mystery any more! Congratulations on your quilting - looks good and the kiddies will love it.

I have a short arm on a long table. It is like a long arm but only has a 6" throat on the sewing machine. It works great, but. . . .

My daughter purchased a long arm a year ago and keeps telling me I ought to try it. I was afraid I would not want to use mine any more if I did.

This past week I finished a simple but pretty Valentine quilt. I wanted it done a specific way and knew I could not do it very well on the short arm. She said she would do it, but I wanted to do it. Off I went yesterday to finally try it out.

Yep. I was right I want to go back today and quilt another quilt. It was fun and went so fast.

I took a community quilt to learn on. I did it better the first time on that machine than I ever did with my shorter machine. I could do a broader pattern. Looked good.

I wonder if I can find someone to buy my short arm.

Wonderful job of long-arm quilting. I purchased a Baby Lock with Handi-Quilter; but have developed a liking for doing baby quilts, or lap quilts so the purchase of this machine was not smart. Guess you need to try it out before making the expenditure. now it just sits - waiting and waiting!!!!

Enjoy! you did a beautiful job.

I am still guilting by hand. I can't seem to figure out quilting on my Brother Innovis 1500d w/o making a mess.
