Ladies, I'm going to give you the best advise I can on learning to FMQ. Go to Facebook. There is a group called Sit down Free Motion Quilting. My machine is a Juki 2010q, not a sit down. Doesn't matter. Jeanne Harrison started this group and just passed a few weeks ago but all her classes are still there and will stay. Our moderators are pushing forward. She was an excellent and kind teacher. She explains things so plainly. Do yourself a favor and check out her site. One day I was practicing and took a break, came back, looked at my work and thought, well damn, when did I start improving?
