Another member recently posted this handy link. The patterns are classical and attractive and they're free.

Hi Aggi. have you looked at Leah Day's blog yet? She is posting hundreds of FMQ designs with videos to show you how to do them. I like her site because you don't have to mark your quilt, just practice a design a bit and then go for it. She has lots of great ideas about FMQ besides the designs. Hope you give her a try! I'm really not related to her or anything, just love her information http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.c...tart-here.html

Help! I found the stencils as well and they are beautiful, but now I have another problem. I set my quilting machine to all the settings my manual tells me and what other ladies have told me to do. Check tensions, threads, bobbin winding, change to new needle, but when I try to do free motion quilting with my darning foot, I can't slide the fabric without fighting it and my machine ends up across the table from me, with me pushing so hard. I have come along ways but it has been strictly machine quilting, not free hand. Help?

You could try a white pencil, but you could also draw the stencil onto regular paper, enough times to cover whatever area you intend to FMQ. If you will be using an allowed pattern on the top, fill the entire page if you like. Get a stack of very thin paper. Go to the sewing machine and, using an unthreaded large topstitch needle, with a small stitch, sew through all the layers. The holes will function as a pattern for you.
