One more thing, Don't cut the squares before you do the embroidery. I found that I could save a lot more fabric by cutting after I did it so I could use the block beside it to help hold it in place while embroidering. I hope I said that right. Just be sure you measure the distance between the blocks right. I screwed up the first one I did but then again I'm still learning. I told my hubbie he could use it for a jacket patch. LOL

use your walking foot/quilting foot and move the quilt to the left and the right with your hands while stitching. just something to give the fish areas movement like water.

In order to Free motion quilt, it is best to purchase a darning/embroidery foot that fits your machine (very inexpensive), drop your feed dogs, make sure you lower the foot down, even though it doesn't actually touch the fabric. <wave>

Guess what I bought at Walmart? A whole bolt of fabric that is green underwater like with fish. It is Cranston VIP. I am going to use it to back my fish quilt. Will post a picture later. Isn't that neat.
