Long arm report

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
:-(

If you run out of practice quilts, just holler. g

When my friend got her LA, she did her
practice on quilt tops for charity. Her
guild was glad to send them to her. This
proved to be a good learning experience
for her. Also, she was able to count the
batting cost on tax return as charitable
contribution. Enjoy your LA!

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!
