I didn't see this thread until I did a message a short time ago. I just completed a 14 day free motion challenge. My confidence level was elevated by about 5 notches. I'm over the moon pleased with myself.
Anway I just posted a link to my blog about a tool that might interest you if you are a free motion quilter. I saw it on The Quilt Show where Judy Woodworth was demonstrating how to do free motion feathers. This vinyl tool helps you decide what free motion design will look good where.
