Just enjoy it and don't worry. I bought a Sweet 16 and love it so much. Then I found out I'm sick and wish I hadn't bought it. But I still use it every week. Just have a good time with it and don't worry about what could have been or what might be. Today is all you really have.

You are like me, always second guessing yourself. Just take a deep breath and go for it. Don't get discouraged if you aren't an expert in a week! Do you know anyone with a longarm that can help you? Also try utube, there are videos of everything else on there.

Life is precious. But, it is just a TRIAL run preparing us for our real life to come. Blessings to you. Thanks for your encouraging words.

Oh congrats!!!!! You will do just fine!!!! I think it is very normal when making this type of investment to feel remorse. I felt this way when I purchased my machine and frame!!! I was so scared and now I love it and am learning so much!!!! Relax and enjoy!!!!

Wow, 30" is one BIG machine. Are you getting a computerized one? Congrats on the machine. Just practice and you'll be fine.

Contrats on the purchase! And hey, if it's a male machine, it can join Frank (mine) and they can chat about how women don't do anything, but make the MEN do all the work!

(hah!)

my sweet friend, ive named mine Martha already and i dont even have one yet! oh i cant wait! i have all the excitement bottled up and bursting for you!!! you CAN do this AND you will be fantastic at it! don't you worry! your dream is one step closer to becoming a reality and the first time you turn it on in your home you will feel the joy. everything you set your heart out to do you succeed with flying colors. anyone who can hand quilt the way you do can run a machine with your eyes closed. you got it in the bag!
much love, ole green eyes over here :P

It will take a little practice, but you will get the hang of it. I really like the feeling of being able to finish my own quilts. You will too. Just practice, practice, practice!
