ya but---Leah Day is FMQ on an 8" square ! love her designs & so appreciate her posting them free. SID is usually for the birds. serpentine stitch makes it look so easy & looks good too. FMQ is not an easy thing. If you can remember that the needle will follow your hand & look at where you are going, not where the needle is hitting. your brain can do that. you do not look at the hood ornament of the car when you are driving--you look at the road ahead. forget all the rolling & folding, just bunch it up around the area you are doing.do that, move to the next area.
smooth curves are hard to do all the time ! also helps to remember to keep your shoulders down.don't hunch.
do some small charity quilts & just relax 7 have fun. you will get the hang of it and wonder what ever scared you so much. oh, get Machinger gloves. (by the time you read all of these letters, you will be exhausted. but the great
number of replies shows you how many of us have felt the same way--or maybe still feel that way)
