    I think you are terribly brave. I'm not sure I will ever attempt free motion quilting...maybe years from now when I have a lot more experience and confidence. Congrats and keep it up, with all the incouragement you get here you will be sailing though before you know it!

    Most importantly, you took the dive! I know how cold that water can be. I am a self-admitted horrible FMQ, I cross lines, my stitches are intermittently super tight and too long, and my aspirations never match my execution. I don't care, just keep at it. I don't make quilts to show, (thought God knows I wish I could), I make them for friends and family. They all know everything I do is askew and l;ove me anyway! Sarah, you GO girl! By the way, I love your kitty avatar!

    Please, what constitutes "good" and "bad" free motion quilting?

    Thanks, P

    I agree with you. FMQ is difficult. I have been practicing but I have to agree with whoever wrote that it takes LOTS of practice. I remember seeing someone in Paducah FMQ and they took a pencil and paper and drew the design over and over again on paper before trying it on the machine. A lady at my church told me to check out Leah Day, she does have very good ideas about FMQ.

    You did a great job, Sarah!! My first FMQ experience was frustrating. It does get easier.

    I love those kitties in your avatar.

    P.S.
    At least no one was peeking over your shoulder saying........."OMG!! What is that?"
    I have had this happen before......LOL
