| JUKI QVP2200 all set up and ready to go |
Our first job was to get the JUKI 2200QVP set up and ready to roll.
We thought that the bright variegated Fantastico thread looked like firebird feathers against the black fabric background..
Everything was working beautifully and we were all ready for the Quilt Forum University class later in the day.

and creates beautiful lines of stitching!

| Quilt forum University - first try on the JUKI QVP2200 |
Look at the smiles! It is so fun to bring quilters together to try great tools. This was the first time that most of these ladies had ever tried a long arm quilting machine. They were so excited to try the
JUKI QVP2200!

| Emily and Martha demonstrated free-motion quilting on the JUKI QVP |
Everyone was keen to see how the long arm quilting machine worked.

| Martha demonstrating doodling line designs |
We showed how doodling line designs with pen and paper helps us to gain fluency on the long arm quilting machine. Everyone had the chance to practice line designs on paper and then to draw the same design with needle and thread on the new JUKI QVP2200 long arm.

Each time we tried a new design we changed the thread. So everyone could see how various plain and variegated threads cotton, trilobal polyester, silk and metallic threads performed on the JUKI QVP2200.
