Our long arm is a 14’ long APQS Millennium. And I am 5’ 3” and 70 years old. It is just too much machine for me to manhandle from a seated position. We work with the Intelliquilter computer system and it can do fantastic custom things. But since I am so short I can’t see from a seated position to even do the process indicating the edge of a block to the computer. Thanks for caring enough to take the time to make the suggestion.

Thanks. I have Pigma Pens and didn’t even think about using them. I have a few other blocks to design the quilting for then will get the designs onto the paper. Can’t wait to try all theses wonderful ideas.

I marked m tissue paper with red permanent marker. As soon as it was dry, it did not transfer to the quilt like a water based marker did. I draw a master motif on typing paper, put the tissue over it and quickly trace it. I want to do shamrocks on my Irish Chain quilt, so I will be using this method again.
