Hi aunteeviv!

All the advice you've been given is great! Aren't you glad to have the forum to get such wisdom from so many? I know I am.

I'm writing to give you encouragement! You can do it! Just a small bit at a time and it will get done!

I quilted a king-sized quilt on my little machine and I still wonder at how I ever did it. It's beautiful though and I'm happy it's done. Go to my album and see it! (Yes, I'm a show-off. But it might inspire you!) It's called "Move Along, Nothing to See Here" and if I can do it, you can too! I'm sure you can! I used to set little goals for myself, like "I'm going to quilt two blocks today." Then when those two were finished I would be encouraged to keep going and quilt a little bit more. Every quilt is quilted one little bit at a time.

ps Two more tips not yet mentioned: use quality thread and dust out your bobbin case whenever you change bobbins to keep the lint to a minimum. Threads breaking or the machine getting sluggish are so frustrating, don't you think?
