I agree, potholders are a great size...but I dont think the pillow is too big either. I think one of the keys is having some way to support the weight of whatever isn't under the needle at the time. So...make sure you have plenty of space on the table on your left side. Good luck!

Me too Tiff....I did my 1st FM with my machine on top of the washer/dryer with my ironing board stuck out in front to match the height. I had to stand up to sew...its the only place I had in the house at the time :roll: I still use the ironing board no matter where I drag my machine!

I gave my daughter for Christmas 2 table runners, that I had practiced machine quilting on. I knew she was a safe bet of maybe not laughing at me till she had tears. They were pretty actually and I tried really really hard on them but just in case they were going to family members and my daughter won out. My mother gets the next batch! It is like anything else practice practice practice and then enjoy the memories and the laughing until you almost pee your pants. LOL Bethy
