1st quilt using my mid-arm
I bought a mid-arm last September and practiced a little bit last fall. Now that I'm really retired (I was a long-term substitute teacher last year), I am back to learning how to use my machine. A friend gave me this donation quilt for more practice. I watched the instructional video yesterday morning and quilted yesterday afternoon and this morning. Now I'm looking forward to getting some more quilts ready to go so I can practice different quilting motifs!

Looks great. Angela Walters is my favorite quilting teacher. She has many free videos online and several books out. I have made some practice sandwiches about the size of a big placemat, using old or ugly fabric. I try to practice different motifs on those, and when I have confidence, I move to a real quilt. I bought a sit down longarm last Spring. Aren't they wonderful?
