Thread: My first attempt at free motion quilting

It looks pretty rough, but I'm not unhappy with it. I really love my new sewing machine (the Brother PQ 1500S).

Looks good!!!

Thank you! It's very naive, but I figure it's a good start. I'll have to work my way up to some of the amazing work I've seen on this board. The other quilters here are my inspiration!

I second those emotions! Keep on keepin' on with this! Great job!

The quilt I'm working on is the one in my profile picture. It's made entirely of two-inch squares, so I'm drawing the hearts within four squares. They're not exact, but they look pretty good on the back. My biggest problem is getting distracted. Any time I glance up, the quilt jerks and I get a wayward stitch. It makes me laugh at myself. I think it will be fun to look back at this quilt a couple years from now. My hope is that I'll see great improvement.

Thank you all for being so nice to this newbie!
