I had nothing but problems quilting this quilt top. The top was made in a Patricia Belyea Workshop years ago and has some Yukata cotton prints in it. I ran across it in my UFO bucket a couple of days ago and thought it deserved to be a quilt.
I started out with a quilting pattern of a geometric type pattern. I set it up on the longarm and started it. It made the first part then went around the first part again, and then started on it again. I stopped it. What the heck. It had went over the same lines repeatedly for no apparent reason. And I didn't want it to do that across the whole quilt. So, stopped it and picked all that stitching out - which took a while.
I erased that program and picked another and set it up. Then got the machine working. This one was stitching out right, one time around to make the pattern. But, when it got to the next section of the panto the program would stop and want me to pull up the threads so it could go on. Those of you who longarm will know what I mean. For the rest of you, that meant I had to stand there and push the button to get it to do each section. So, I did. It's a small quilt.

And I got it done.
