There sure...OH, good for you for taking the leap!!! There sure is a lot to learn, but you are off to a great start. I wonder if the rippling border might be tamed by basting the edges of the quilt before working in the center? Sometimes heavy stitching in one area can make it seem like things are ripply elsewhere. Great work!!!Carole @ Fresh off the Framehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17022547397680969012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339518921686187194.post-7276477568786138282015-04-10T18:47:49.123-07:002015-04-10T18:47:49.123-07:00I think that your beginning designs on your new lo...I think that your beginning designs on your new longarm look great!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339518921686187194.post-51517407916345633122015-03-27T16:28:48.877-07:002015-03-27T16:28:48.877-07:00Longarms have a mind of their own. They are snobs ...Longarms have a mind of their own. They are snobs (IMHO) and my Avril can be a diva at times. And yes! You have the right idea, to just do it, jump in, and, as Angela Walters says, finish the quilt, as opposed to having it languish in a drawer or closet somewhere. What a haul you got! Sounds well-deserved for all the work you did. btw Craftsy (Angela's classes especially) helped me big time when I got my longarm, as did Leah Day's 365+ quilting motifs.Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339518921686187194.post-57056816397467572472015-03-22T17:24:52.918-07:002015-03-22T17:24:52.918-07:00I hope the two of you start norming and performing...I hope the two of you start norming and performing soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339518921686187194.post-44665884674850241492015-03-22T07:13:01.539-07:002015-03-22T07:13:01.539-07:00Great stash, and nice to see you posting again!
