and more practice. My Janome (a cheap model) has a little knob at the top, where I can slow my speed down. I put it in the center - that way I find a speed I'm comfortable with, and I start practicing...then I slow it down more or speed it up a little more depending on what I'm comfy with. If I put the pedal to the metal and push all the way, my speed can only go as fast as where I've set it to go. So I'm not getting a lot of changes in the speed.
Then, find the best way to move your fabric around on your machine, and practice practice practice......
I'm new at quilting and new at FMQ. I'm loving it and having a blast praciting! :) Good luck. O, and don't forget to practice! ;)
