Looking good Eddie!!!

But thanks to you it might have to go and buy me a long arm now. I have all of these King size quilts to do and my model 15 is great and all but I bet you can knock one out really quick compared tho the regular machines.

Hi Eddie!! I love the quilt! Hey, I'm too afraid to machine quilt at all- much less on a longarm.
Great job!!!!! Thanks for sharing :)

We never doubted you Eddie. Your quilting turned out perfectly. Your meandering is very evenly spaced....I think you've got it :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Does the machine have a stitch control to be sure they remain the same size no matter how fast you go?

Mistakes? Oh, yes! Many! :oops:

I didn't get the stitch regulator due to cost (it was about $3,000 more), but I like it just like it is. The machine moves so fluidly that it's really easy to maintain a uniform looking stitch.

WHAT :shock: :shock: :shock: You did that without a stitch regulator :?: Oh, you are really, really good. :thumbup:
