    8) Yes I feel myself it is Like Longarming only you don't have to stand up!! Free Motion is what your doing when you long arm only they don't want you to know it. I know cause I have a Longarm and standing is the pits for long hours . I Have a Table and going to move it to a cabinet quilting set up and only stand up when I want to. just my feeling and my aching Feet!!! :twisted:

    :lol: Thanks! Actually, it is the FIRST kit I ever bought. It's from Connecting Threads & the price was so reasonable that I couldn't resist it. I still had to cut out the templates & I traced them for the outlines with an air marker. I couldn't survive without those things!

    ok dumb question. What is free motion quilting? Do you need a quilting machine, or just a sewing machine? Do you need special accessories, if it is for a regular sewing machine? I have no clue, I just see what everyone does, and am amazed. :D

    Maybe someday I'll get a long arm, but for now I want to master the technique before investing in the long arms. They are more pricey, so I want to be comfortable quilting this way before buying one. Not to mention making sure I have the space to house one :)

    Tarib, if your regular sewing machine can either lower the feed dogs, or cover them, and you have a darning foot, YOU CAN FREE MOTION QUILT!!! I have only done the one quilt, but now I am an instant addict and can't WAIT to get the next quilt started for quilting!

    thanks Aggi. I can lower the feed dog, just need a darning foot, (whatever that is) :oops: tarib

    ok I looked it up, now I know what a daring foot is, and no I don't have one, but maybe in due time........ :-)
