Today, I started using a longarm on a hoop frame for the first time. I just did a simple large L and little E motion all over the quilt. Next time I might try to meander on the quilt top but the first time is a no thrills quilt top.
Since this is my first quilt I have no high expectations and I really just want to get it done so that I can put it on my bed and be 1 and done.
I’m Barry — a retired electrician who traded wires for fabric and found a new passion in quilting. Since retiring in 2021, I’ve enjoyed the freedom to create, travel, and share my projects on my YouTube channel, Barry Quilts. Retirement has given me the time to do what I love most — make, learn, and inspire others along the way.

You made that look easy. What long arm are you using and how did you like it?
I love the piecing and building my quilts but not the quilting itself, thou I have got much better with time.
I do not have a long arm, so I use my juki to get it done on my table.
Best wishes!
