    Great! You did it even on your standard sewing machine. That is the only sewing machine I have and I do my best with it. I have no intention of buying another one for now. It can be done and you did a great job.

    My first experience with FMQ was much the same as yours. I was terrified! I jumped in on a very special quilt for great grandchild and had so much fun with it, I now always look forward to that part and trying new designs! You'll do great!! Just relax and breathe! The hardest part is getting your speed to where you get your best results. It won't take long to figure that out though! Enjoy!! What a wonderful feeling of accomplishment you'll have when you're done!

    I don't know how large your quilt is but it is best to start with something small. I can say that because the first quilt I pieced was a King size quilt. It is just not worth struggling over such a large quilt with your first one. If you lack confidence, why not find a beginner's class held in a LQS?? Good luck and remember to have fun, this is a hobby after all.
