They tell you to practice and when you first start, you'll think, "no way in hell"
as you go on you'll think "well, maybe.." and then "damn machine :x " and then "no way in hell" again
walk away, watch some youtube vids. Check out some photos from the long armers here on the board, go back. Try again and you'll eventually come to the point where you think "holy crap, I'm doing this, yay me"! :thumbup:

I am with you.. I love doing the tops. I did 2 practice quilts on my frame with machine. I guess I was not confident with the machine or the frame set up. It just takes some practice. So I put one of my real quilts on it.. it sat on the frame for about a week before I could do anything. I just rolled my machine over it with out it running to get a feel for it. Then I took off.. I made lots of mistakes. I ripped some of them out and did them again. My 1st quilting job was not that good, but true when you wash them most of what we saw as flaws and not such pretty lines diappear when it is washed. It is a very nice quilt. I know in my mind it is not the greatest but anyone else does not see them. It is not one I would enter in any contest.. hehehhehee.. So on to the next. Just go... with each mistake we learn, and nothing is ruined.. it can all be ripped out if it would have to be.. hugs to you. I feel your pain.
