I have often been out of my comfort zone since I started quilting last June. I recently finished a teddy bear quilt & I learned how to use a walking foot and the FMQ foot. It was my first time to use either one & I didn't have time for trials because the baby was due & I had to ship it! I did pretty good! I'm proud of how it came out. I hope the kids like it too! My learning curve stays at vertical!
