Don't quit! We've all been there. The people in your group will help you and you can also find help here on the board. I was really disgusted with my attempts at free motion quilting yesterday. Some stitches too long, others too tight. Just a real mess. I was really disappointed too, because I really liked the block I was trying to quilt. I ended up throwing it away and just chalking it up to a learning experience. I think I will just do straight line quilting for a while or else try to practice on some material I don't particularly like. Keep going though. You will be surprised how quickly your skills can improve.
