I just want to show all of you I am trying, lol.....I had a lot of trouble with the thread breaking, I think I was trying to go too fast. Speed is my problem, always trying to get er done, lol...This is small -37x37 but it is a start. Not sure I can handle a larg one. I am going to keep practicing. I know that is what it takes. Ok, hope all has a wonderful day. Happy Quilting to you all.:thumbup:

If thread keeps breaking, check the bobbin thread tension. If thread does not pull out smoothly without any jerks, it is too tight! I had this happen on my Grandquilter machine and watched a guy on youtube named Jamie Linn (I think) did what he said and now it works just great!

You did an awesome job!! Wish my first one looked like that!!!

It looks good on the front; it looks good on the back. Even the binding looks good. Good+Good+Good=GREAT! Way to go! :-)

Excellent first try! I have been scared to make that leap, so kudos to you!

Great job! Nice and even.....

You did a very nice job; cute quilt.

I think your quilt is very good. Your corners and seams look good on your piecing, the FMQ looks pretty consistent and not overly quilted and your binding lies flat. I think you should be proud of yourself and your quilt. Thanks for sharing it with us.
