    So I finally got my Handiquilter 16 delivered 2 weeks ago and I gave it a good test run. I think I did pretty good never having really used a long arm before!! I am so excited to finish up all my WIPs now!! Woo-hoo! Here are a few pics, and I also blogged about it (link in siggy).

    Cheers!

    I think you did a terrific job for your first time. I just hope that I'm half as good when I manage to get my long arm.

    Thanks guys!! It was a lot of fun to play around. The machine works a lot better than I thought it would. I can't wait to get loads more practice and just get better and better!

    Cheers!
