I agree…practice on paper! I usually dive right in, but my first fear wreaths were for a customer’s antique quilt. No way was I going to risk a first timer mistake! So, I used some old newsprint and the same template to draw a bunch of samples…then I put some practice fabric on the long arm and stitched four samples, THEN I loaded the actual quilt. Like you said, certainly not perfect up close but pretty good for most people taking a quick look. Thanks for the encouragement.
