Maybe you could drive a couple hours north & spend a day helping me? :D Just kidding (kinda lol)
I will continue to pursue learning FMQ. I know it will be worth the time to learn FMQ - it is just that I don't have time to learn it before I need to get these 2 quilts done.
A question and a suggestion.
1- is FMQ free motion quilting on a standard sewing machine or a long arm machine?
2- why don't you get a pretty but plain fabric-like polished cotton, in a size for a lap quilt or baby quilt, sandwich it with batting and a back, and practice some stitches. The plain fabric will let you see your stitches. When you are done if you don't care to keep it you can donate it.
