First quilt off the longarm
After months of practicing on muslin, I finally loaded and quilted a panel on the longarm. I'll get better with practice, but I'm very happy with my first attempt!

Yeah for you. You do a lot better job on a real quilt than on practice. We tend to try harder. Your meandering is very curvatious, very nice. You will find you will get faster and more confident. I can not tell you when I stopped standing in front of machine thinking "I hope I don't ruin this." Like everything else it is a process in learning. I am so thrilled for you.

Your stipples look good: nice and even. You have the right attitude, too. After taking my first quilt off the longarm, I thought, geez, I really need to rethink whether I can do this. Of course, I practiced some more and still, two years later, I'm learning stuff all the time--can't tell you how many youtube videos, quilt websites, winning quilts I've looked at trying to learn more and to get some ideas. Just keep going! And have fun, of course!

I hope to get brave one day. I got my frame together and the sewing machine sitting there but I have yet to load the first fabric. practise or other. I need to get brave and just do it.
