    It is here. Not set up but one of the inspectors is on the job. Hopefully my "Honey" will have time later this week. I am so excited I can hardly think, but scarred cause will I figure out how to use it...is it going to work well, is it big enough or too big..........arrrrgghhhh!
    Actually I did use this machine once when my friend had it. I quilted my latest Grand Daughter's quilt on it.

    Congratulations! I hope to have space for a quilting frame (and maybe a long arm machine) someday! I don't know that I could pause long enough to take pictures. :-D

    Your kitten is adorable! Can I post that picture on my catsonquilts blog?

    How exciting! I admire your patience not to just try to set the whole thing up yourself. Not sure which is cuter - the kitten or the grand daughter.I'm going to go with the grand daughter. She going to be a real beauty when she grows up.

    Well, well, well, you have lots of help, I see! Let me know how it goes.

    I have this same set up and CANNOT get smooth curves. PLEASE ask the rep about it. Mine was given to me and I brought it home in the back of my pick up, so I got NO help.

    Best of luck with your new baby.

    I actually got the machine and frame from a friend. (she went larger, really larger and computerized) So I lucked out. I did use it when she had it set up and quilted the pink baby quilt for Elizabeth. I made stars and curves and they went quite well for a first timer. I will ask my friend what she thinks your machine might be doing.
