love it so far...kind of tricky on the edges, but I am guessing that it gets easier with practice...

Tips, tricks?

That is looking great. I think the edges are the hardest. Your meandering looks wonderful.

I got one under the machine too! YOurs is looking great! My tip is don't be away from it too long,harder to get back into FM once you walk away for a period of time. I started mine 5 weeks ago and haven't got back to it. A no-no, I won't do that again, but so hard to get back into it.On my agenda tomorrow hopefully!

I fmq borders from the top going down rather than across the width and having to roll the quilt to your right - so you can go all around the quilt easily.

Your FMQ looks nice. Your stitches are so neat and orderly. I haven't learned how yet. Newbie1001 has two really good post on this and a very helpful idea and tutorial (tutorial is in the 2nd post). I enjoyed them so much and I hope you will as well.
