Quilting

Hi well as some of you know last year I got myself a short arm quilting Machine what you don't know is how much trouble I have had with it

The person I got it from while lovely has not been any help
I have had broken belts that I had a very hard time getting skipt stitches and no stitches .The people who make this machine are no longer in business so I have not been able to get any help.
But yesterday I had a win
played and fiddled and yes I did my first Panto WOO HOO
I am so glad I did not give up
My Machine Is A Design A Quilt brand so if any one out there has any info on them I would love to hear from you.
here are a couple of pics of the quilt I am working on at the moment
