Very!
I have owned a HandiQuilter for three years (purchased at Quilt Show by the Sea 2006)-- the purchase was made to draw with my needle. It sat in my studio for a while jut taking up space... then in a box. Last summer I pulled it out and purchased the table, FINALLY!
This year I have committed to learn to use it or to get it out of my studio (it's large!).
So far this year I have quilted five lap quilts. Utilitarian in nature to get my feet wet and learn some basics about my machine...
Well I decided enough was enough and have started a drawing... (Based on current drawings from Contemporary Realist Academy)
What fun!
Please let me know what you think!

oh so totally cool!
Beautifully done portraiture.
This is the month that my own handi-quilter gets USED!!! after sitting and waiting almost a year for me to catch up on deadlines.
Can't wait.
This is so wonderful. I love that the lines have curves rather than sharp edges.
That's pretty amazing. When I looked at the bigger view and saw all those loopy lines and what you achieved with them. Wow! I love it!
Beautiful -- very original. She is lovely.
I have no clue what a handi-quilter is...but it looks pretty cool.
Nysha, Your work is beautiful and I am very happy that you are accomplishing great things with your HQ Sixteen Sit-down machine from Handi Quilter. We're very proud to be a very small part of your success. I hope you're enjoying all of that SPACE for quilting!
