I too want to learn to FMQ. Yesterday I looked at the free video at Sharon Schamber web site (FMQ 101) and she uses a quilting "halo" that makes it so much easier to control the fabric. Her videos are fantastic because she goes slowly and is very easy to understand. You don't have to pay a thing to see many of her videos (just a login name) and she's the best I've seen so far. I wonder why none of the other teachers don't use her halo method?
Oh, by the way I got her name from someone on the Quilting Forum. This is the best site for quilting etc., on the internet!!
