I agree with the bias comment. There's a little more pull, but its normal and I think adds to the overall look of the quilt. You could experiment with a slightly longer stitch or easing up on the presser foot pressure, but do this on your NEXT one! You want all the quilting to be consistent. You are doing a wonderful job!!!

I looks fine from the front. Can you take a photo of the back and post it?? I prefer straight stitching and I think what you are doing is fine. Beginners should stick first with getting comfortable with a walking foot before jumping into FMQ. A great book I would recommend is by Harriet Hargrave: Heirloom Machine Quilting Book. I have the first edition but I would get the most recent edition. If there is a quilt store somewhat close, pop in there and start talking and make some local connections. Great place to find where quilter's meet.

It looks wonderful to me. The rows are evenly spaced and no one section looks thicker than the rest. Relax. We are always our own worst critics. You have done a great job.
