Starting Thanksgiving off with a lil free motion on my domestic Juki TL2020. I have her big sister but just can’t seem to get my control on it as well. Thinking I put it on Marketplace. Decisions, decisions. Hoping I get to practice most of the day. Happy Thanksgiving

Check out String and Story I did this class before the Feathers class. It’s totally worth every penny and you have the classes to refer back to forever. She is a fantastic teacher

Well I basically do E2E on the gammill. I do love it and was reluctant to buy it, but I have had it since 2022 and haven’t regretted buying it one time. I have made some money making tshirt quilts for others and can provide a professional finish.

I started quilting at 56. I am now 60 work full time and care for my 80 year old mother. You are not kidding about time running out!! It’s hard but my quilting and sewing hobbies help keep me sane. I have been working on one quilt for over a year. Do what makes you happy. No husband that helpslol

I have a sit down juki, and a Gammill long arm on a frame that I have robotics on, they both have a learning curve. I have back issues. So I started on sit down and seem to have better control. Have you taken Hollyanne Knights long-arm quilting class
