Agree - I found if I couldn't draw it with a pencil on paper, it definatly wasn't going to draw out with the machine. I started practicing to draw on paper until the repetitive designs improved. Then I also drew the disign I wanted on the fabric/quilt and that helped too. This is how I learned to feather. I still have a lot of practice ahead.
