I'm struggling with FMQ right now. I really want to learn how to do it well, but I don't seem to have a knack for it.
I just don't like doing things I'm not good at.
I'm not going to give up though. I'll keep plugging away until it gets reasonable.
The hardest thing for me to FMQ is a straight line of all things. You'd think that would be easy, wouldn't you?
So I'm just following the print or just wandering around with loops and wavy lines and weird pebbly things. I practiced on a wall hanging and some potholders and moved on to a quilt and I'm in too deep to quit now.
But I understand not really enjoying it. I'm having to make myself do it.
If you don't like FMQ you can still get nice results outlining or using decorative stitching.
It's your quilt, so do what you like and what feels good to you.
Nothing wrong with that.
