Well, machine quilting is surprisingly simple, quick and oddly hypnotic... even with pretty much only one hand to guide the material. I do have to use my right hand a bit but just to keep the fabric rolled up to the inside of the sewing arm so it shouldn't injure my torn shoulder especially with plenty of breaks. So far on the actual quilt I've only done kind of wavy lines, but in the could of practices beforehand I was able to do circles and shapes with the freehand foot too so here's hoping I'll continue to gain proficiency before I'm through with the quilts
