I won't dismiss your cellulitis info (I hope no one here has it) but back to the quilt - thanks for sharing the link, I wasn't finding a way to enlarge the one connected with the museum itself.

When the longarm machine is used (I have a friend with one, but it's out in West Texas so I haven't been by to see how it works) is the whole work programmed or does a person stand by and direct the stitching as it happens? Or both. It seems possible to end up off target and not have the outlines you want unless someone operates it manually?

I'm told those long arm devices are very expensive. My friend bought hers about 20 years ago, and I think it's still going strong. Takes up an entire outbuilding on their property.
