Far apart and curvy could describe ME let alone my quilting! :lol: Another tip I just thought of, when doing meander, don't cross your lines. I try and visualise section by section how I'm going to work my way around an area to be quilted and make sure to leave myself an escape route. The main thing and perhaps the most boring is PRACTICE! When you come to start wanting to do more definite shapes and patterns, draw the design on scrap paper first, again and again and again. It really helps.
