Long Arm Quilting

For the past couple of days, I've had the pleasure of learning about LAQ, hands-on.  It's quite the process  to load the 3 fabric layers on 3 rollers, add edge clamps, and side tensions,

program the computer with the pattern of your choosing, (Curves and Leaves),
set the parameters for the design,
 

 and to then watch her go!   Fascinating!

It's way more involved than this brief description, but I don't have time to
tell all I've learned.
 Can't wait to see how the design looks on the solid flannel backing.

And I might have an opportunity to one day do some free-motion quilting with this puppy!
