Long arm report

Aug 08, 2006 8 Replies

I got my Gammill on Thursday and I love it! I have been quilting for several hours every day. I practiced on some muslin and some yucky fabric first. Then on Saturday I tried a small quilt top. It has some mistakes and I definitely need more practice. I put the binding on it today and it's now finished and ready for use. Yesterday I tried quilting another small (46" X 46") quilt top that I had pieced a few years ago. This one came out much better, but I still have lots of room for improvement. I have lots more quilt tops waiting to be finished in the sewing room closet, so I'm sure I'll get lots of practice. I probably won't get to quilt tomorrow since I have lots of errands to run :-(

Exactly!! What MaryD said. I have some you can practice on, too

We have a quilt shop in our area that has two long arms and teaches classes on the long arms. They use our Project Linus quilts for the students to practice on. We get at least 16 quilts from them each month beautifully quilted. Good deal for us and the shop owner always has quilts for her students that need to be quilted!

And ... if you would like to go International? >gg< . In message , TerriLee in WA writes

4 - 5, so they wouldn't take too long!
