I jumped back into quilting after 30 years. I am working on technique by making small quilts for kids in hospitals. Must be machine quilted to withstand a lot of washing. Need quilting ideas. It gets boring!
Just learned about a walking foot. That should help. Ideas?

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. Have you tried FMQ. There are lots of quilting designs you can do.

I have not tried FMQ, but it's on my list. I am going to take some classes at our local (subway ride) quilt shop. Thanks!
