Sorry to rant, just having a bit of a pity party! :oops:
I too have been there and still there somtimes. It does get better. Just keep at it. Practice does make better.
However, I do not do FMQ. I hand quilt. I tried doing this on my machine with just stitch in the ditch. What a mess. Everytime my needle went over the seams(where the blocks intersect) the stitches got really small without even changing the stitch length. So I guess my machine does not like quilting.
