I have been researching getting a new longarm quilting machine. I have done some research and came up with a few ideas, but hadn't really gone any further in my research. Until two weeks ago when I saw an ad for a machine on craigslist. It was for a used but rebuilt machine and even better it was local. So this past weekend I moved the machine to its new home. It is temporarily in the family room, as the room I want it in has too much stuff (aka junk) in it.
So here is my "playing" and learning on my "new" 2006 APQS Liberty Longarm quilting machine
I tried panto-graphs... not so bad with the swirls, but the straight lines for the stars and points on the poinsettias were another issue! Although with practice I think I'm getting better!
I tried feathers and squares... I liked my nested squares, but I won't be doing any feathers anytime soon on a real quilt!
I liked working with the rulers. The rope tool is great!
A busy back to this quilt, having gone over it twice.... Just tests... and now the machine has another top & back, with this whole quilt inside as the batting. After I`m done testing, this will be sewn into a cover and donated to the animal shelter!

Ooo lucky! Very exciting! Have fun playing! :)
You may have already figured this out, but for the parts on the pantogram with points, focus on the points and not the path and that will help.
