FMQ is making me crazy!!!!
Just needing to let off some steam..... I am attempting to free motion quilt my first real quilt end it is driving me crazy. I either forget to put the pressure foot down, failed to notice that my machine has come unthreaded or some other annoying problem......I’ve been ripping stitches and rethreading all day and I am just frustrated.....if anyone else needs to vent I will be glad to listen 🤣🤣🤣

Some days are like that, hopefully tomorrow will be better.
|
Thank you, I sure hope so 😀
|
Been there done that! There’s a jillion things that sabotage fmq. I am slowly learning how to adjust for some of them.
|
Like a lot of things there are certain steps you must go through to achieve success. Keep going a most will come to you.

Well, if it would help and I lived closer, I'd bring some chocolate and/or red wine overhttps://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Unfortunately, for some things there are just no substitute for experience.
All I can say -- is been there/done that and it eventually gets better. But there are reasons why planning and piecing are my happy place over quilting! But we hear you and we understand :) |
We all have days like this. Remember to slow down and breathe. It will get better.
|
have you thought of making a pre-flight checklist????? something like:
Thread threaded properly? Check! Foot down? Check! Music on? Check! Quilting gloves on? Check! OK, ready for take off. Enjoy the journey Tee Hee! |
It is rough in the beginning. Hang in there, it will click at some point. You're good to rip out stitches, I just carried on. Que sera sera.
