You'll be quilting just like you envision!!! There are many things to get the 'feel' for and having patience with yourself is the hardest part of the process!!! Although I have a fixed mid-arm (Sweet Sixteen), I can relate to the "foreign-ness" of the experience. Muscle-memory/coordination is what's happening so.....practice, practice, practice........hugs....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-12361738888576042532014-03-09T20:48:25.645-04:002014-03-09T20:48:25.645-04:00I'm so glad you finally got some assistance wi...I'm so glad you finally got some assistance with it.

I seriously thought I had made a very expensive mistake when I bought my long arm - even after a few months of daily practice!! It's not only practice, you LITERALLY have to build muscle in your arm that wasn't there before. You're using your arms to move a machine in a way you never have before! I can't wait to hear all about MQX - I didn't make the deadline so I am going to enter my quilt into MQX Midwest (barring it is accepted). Fingers crossed! ;)Valerie the Pumpkin Patch Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350509427673390188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990831574131918668.post-65875678080072920732014-03-09T08:38:32.980-04:002014-03-09T08:38:32.980-04:00Keep at it, does sound like Steve has to still com...Keep at it, does sound like Steve has to still come, but you can get some practice done!!
