I got my long arm in November last year and am quite
convinced I struggled more than other people even though everyone warned about
the learning curve involved. I fooled
around on a couple of practice pieces but doing an all over pattern just didn’t
seem like enough of a challenge to me. I
wanted to find out what I was capable of having to think about a motif for
every block and get an appealing end result as well.
Quilting friend, Karin, was brave (or maybe dumb) enough to
offer me one of her quilt tops to practise on and even though riddled with
mistakes I loved the opportunity to play around, wondering with each step
whether it would turn out okay.
I still have to improve a lot before I can call myself
successful or even just good at long arm quilting but I think with enough
practice I might just get there. This is
Karin’s quilted top.
