My grandmother recently got a long arm! And I'm lucky enough to be able to use it! I quilted my first quilt on it just recently and thought I'd share it with you!
I used Tula Pink's Saltwater collection and solid white to create the chevron pattern. Chevrons have been my latest pattern of choice! I love the modern feel of them.
I did an overall quilting pattern that consisted of waves and meandering. It was good because I just did the waves every which way so that there was no directional issue for me to worry about.
It was a great learning experience and I can't wait to do it again! I have a couple quilts in the works and am so excited to try the long arm again! It sure beats shoving a huge quilt through my teeny tiny domestic machine!

Do you have any long arm experience? Have you tried to wrestle a huge quilt into your domestic machine?
Wishing you big waves and an artful day!
