My longarm is home so I've been practicing

When my longarm arrived home, the wire on the lazer light was broken. So, Nolting shipped me out a new one. Well, in the mean time, I decided to practice my free motion quilting. Which is something I'm not very good at. Here is a baby panel that I did some practicing on. Tell me what you think. Be honest. I'm a big girl and learn from criticism.

I think it looks great. You are definitely being too hard on yourself. You're off to a great start!

I love your quilting! There are a few places that aren't perfect, but that will fade away with practice. I suspect that you are still learning to control your speed. I have found curves to be much smoother if I go a bit faster rather than slower. It's easier to make smooth curves if the machine has some inertia pushing it along. I think you are well on your way to some fantastic custom work.

It looks very good and the main thing is you are getting in there and practicing. Everything will become easier as time moves along and you gain confidence.

Well for goodness sake! It looks like you are a natural at this. I wish I had a long arm! You lucky duck.

You're doing great!

So you got a push to start doing something you probably have been wanting to do but not having time to do. I recently got in the same situation and am glad I did as I had to make time to practice free hand and ruler work or do nothing. I'm not real good at it yet but I really enjoyed and plan to make time for it in the future.

quiltstringz 03-25-2014 10:44 AM

OOPS, forgot to mention that I think it looks great.

KimS 03-25-2014 11:23 AM

I think you're quilting looks great! I have a little bit of a problem keeping the stitches the same size when going around a curve but it sure is fun to keep practicing. :)

Looks great to me. Perfect for a child.
