I'm basically a hand-quilter but learning to machine quilt. What I like about handquilting is the ability to make "designs" or something specific in quilted areas. I can't figure out how to do this when MQ. Other than SID and a very bad attempt at FMQ, I don't know what else to do. I'd be very interested in following any suggestions you get to be able to put a "design" on my quilt blocks working from such a small available area.
Thanks for starting this thread; hoping for lots of suggestions.
