    Pam, are you using the grid like she is or have you just mastered using a 1/4th away from the line? Also, are you using any kind of base unit? I know she said that the one she is using, she designed it herself and it only fits a Gammill. Thanks Debbie

    Great looking quilting, Pam!!! You're doing great at learning your machine.

    I'm just using a rotary ruler for now, didn't draw a grid, and eyeing the 1/4". Not always right on, which is one reason why I'm doing it on this simple little quilt first. :-)

    I ordered the extension table for my machine online yesterday. It's clear plexi with legs to stand on the machine carriage. I believe that there are tables for each type of machine if you do a search on your brand if you're looking for one.

    It is so pretty, what a lot of starting and stopping for the cross hatching, simple beautiful colors as well...

    Caution on using a regular ruler on the longarm.... I was told to always use a 1/4 " thick ruler.... designed for long arms sew that if the hopping foot hits it won;t break the needle or break itself. Your quilt looks really sharp...... daisy

    Yeah, I saw that about not hitting the ruler. I'm careful and I didn't want to wait until I got the LA ruler.

    There are only 2 more rows of blocks to do on the quilt.

    Love your quilt. Did you use a jelly roll book or did you just go for it?

    It's from the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicki Lintot (I think those are the authors).
