Success and a question
 

This is my first free hand free motion quilting attempt. I didn't trace the pattern - I decided to just go for it. Not perfect but I'm pleased!

Also, I'm using a double needle for the first time. I want to do a single straight stitch using the double needle. Is this what the back should look like? I'm not sure I like the back.

It will zig zag on the back, but the threads there look a bit too loose, so it stands out more.

My first attempt at FMQ wasn't nearly as good as yours! Kudos!

The backing will always be a ladder effect because you have 2 top threads using the 1 bobbin thread.
Good job on the FMQ !

FMQ with a double needle? I've never done that. the stitches on the back will always look double so to speak.
Interesting.

I like the idea of using a double needle....I have done it several times, but always on wall hangings, so really nobody but me sees the back.

Great job, always take a chance, and we learn something new

Much better, ok, a lot better, than my first attempt!!! LOL
Great job!!!

Nice FMQ. And yes the back is zig zagged when using the double needle.
