Right now I am mainly trying to get the continous movement down, and working on something larger then a sample piece. What a huge difference. Once I get the movement branded in my brain then I am going to focus more on getting even stitches.
I have been watching the 365 days of FMQ with Leah Day. The patterns you see are hers. I watch her videos and when I see one that seems to flow in my mind the way she makes it flow in her video....that is the one I try.
I need TONS of practice...I have found out that so far it is not like sitting and sewing for several hours because my jaw gets really tired...Yes I said my jaw. I tend to circle my jaw with the flow of the pattern. :roll: Maybe if I chew gum or something when I am doing it that will help.
Good thing there really aren't quilting police or I would be landed straight in quilters prison. :lol:
I also had the bright idea :idea: that if I post regular pics that I will get it finished.
