Congrats on your machine and a great start!

wonderful 1st longarming

Thank you for answering. I'm off to look up that web site and check out those baptist fan rulers. Surely they fit any long arm machine? I'll call them tomorrow. You did a fabulous job on your quilt:)

Great job for a newbie to the longarm. Just imagine what you will be able to do once you feel comfortable!!!

Very nice -- both the quilt and the quilting!

I've been reluctant to do Baptist Fan because I can't figure our how to do it without all those starts and stops. Could you tell us if this was a continuous design that allowed you to go edge to edge?

Beautiful quilt & quilting.

It can be a continuous design if you backtrack over to the next curve but I found I wasn't consistent when going over existing stitches so I locked in my stitches at the start and end of each curve then I move over to the next curve. Once I complete the row I go back and cut the extra threads out, the extra threads on the backing are cut after I take the quilt off the frame. I found it produced a better result.

Thanks, remember if you haven't used any rulers you will need a ruler base for your machine, it allows the rulers to line up with the needle

Great pattern. Your quilting is nicely done.

Beautiful quilt. I really like the pattern and your choice of colors. Your quilting is great too.

Great job....

Great quilt and your quilting is terrific.

Aren't the longarm machines a wonderful quilting tool, love mind got it in October, boy has it had a work out. Can't keep enough tops made to keep it busy (:: . Good luck and happy quilting.

WOW, you are off to a great start. Green with envy.

Your Baptist fans turned out perfect. I love your quilt as well!

Great job! I got my longarm last year and know how intimidating it can be.

Sharon, great job for your very 1st quilt on your new quilt machine. That only says you'll be doing even greater work as you get used to the machine. I'll be watching for your quilts from now on seeing how this 1st one came out super great.

By the way, what machine did you buy?

You did a fantastic job! Can't believe you are a beginner!

Wow you did awesome!

You did a great job on the quilt and the quilting.

Great job! I have only done swirls and random wandering. I would love to know where to get rulers. Your quilt is beautiful!!

Baptist fan is one of my favorite quilting designs and yours are great!

You used rulers after having your machine only three weeks, oh are you good. I am so thrilled for you. I love mine. And you just keep getting faster. I cant wait to see more of your things.

your quilt is stunning. It coordinates with your rug. Like reverse! Beautiful!!

That is a very ambitious 'first' quilting project. You will definitely be a 'pro' in no time. Congratulations.

Love the quilt and the quilting....you are going to have so much fun with the long arm....

Its a beautiful quilt. That top must've taken forever to do. The quilting is brilliant
