Not sure if the title describes my questions, but here goes. I have this lovely king size quilt frame and mid-arm machine. Going to take a heck of a long time to even come close to mastering the designs I watch on YouTube that people look so relaxed and do all this incredible work--Hope this isn't a foolish question, and maybe I should get a book and find the answer, but this may be quicker and certain cheaper.
If I want to do quilting in one block and then move to another block, do I cut the threads (top and bottom) and just move over to the next block, or do I just move the machine across dragging the threads behind? Hope I am explaining that correctly. Right now I just try my best at a large meandering allover pattern. I think my husband bought me the setup so I could make him this king size quilt. If someone knows of a great book for longarm quilting I would also appreciate it. I'm sure I can just go look around, but I'm sure there are many.
Thanks again for any advice.
