Here I am, working on my new machine. I decided to just make some quilted yardage for my first project, as I have never worked with a longarm before. I'm making insulated grocery bags with the yardage.
It's tons of fun. A whole new craft. I need more practice-It's a good thing that I have 8 tops waiting to be quilted.
Ashley had a few tips to give me. She's fascinated, but wants to be on top of the quilt while I'm working-not a good idea!
After the one practice piece, I decided to do a quilt. This is my cuddle up on the couch quilt -70" X 72".

How are you liking your Innova? Did you get the 18 or 26 inch one? I am seriously considering getting one and am researching.

How do you like the INNOVA now? Is it working for you? Any problems? What would you do to upgrade it? Thanks, Bridget
I like it very much. I have had a few problems, but they were mostly due to operator error.I knocked the timing off (Hint-don't try to go fast over flat felled seams in a denim quilt.) Also, an elictrical connection for the light came loose-probably during shipping-easy fix. Their customer service is great-very patient & will talk you through any needed adjustments/repairs. Upgrades? I went for what I considered the best for my style & am not ready to make upgrades. The couching attachment interests me, but is too expensive for the amount of use that I would get out of it.
I am learning to longarm as well, but I have only done two quilts. I didn't buy a machine; I just rent it from a local quilt shop.
Hi Becky, I am going to look at the Innova this summer...how are you finding yours? I have never had a longarm before...this is my way of not having to learn to free motion quilt! I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on your setup and the learning curve involved.
