If you can do straight line quilting you already know the right moves. I think this tip may help you. Take any solid frabick. Cut a square about 9 inches. Make the sandwich using a sample block,or just draw a simple block for the top. Now in the old days we done things with buying a template. Get a piece of plain paper. Use a glass or a cup to draw around Think in your head of a flower or just simple circles. Draw four circles that over lap.Thread up and quilt along this line. It helps to pin the edges of the sandwich together.If this isn't enough then put the sandwich in an embrodery hoop. Just practice till you please your self. Its not hard. Good Luck to you. This can set your fears at rest and open a whole new world. You can cut out the design on the paper and pin it to your block. Most quilt department sell more complex designs. You can do it. Marvel
