OKayyyy...there is no right or wrong, just personal choice.We all have to start somewhere and practice, practice, practice.
I have meandered, looped and then I started quilting. Heehee! No, really, I learned to tie and only started free motion with my granddaughters machine. My goal is to, borrow her machine again, and make feathersl OOOOOOHHHHH, wouldn't that be wonderful?
