I got my FM foot in the mail today. Of course I gave it a shot - just a 12" practice sandwich. Total disaster - I did make a star that turned out...ok...but my tension is way off. So I have a plan...I'm in the midst of a top for a quilt for my daughter for her twin bed. I know it's a big quilt to be using for FMQ practice, but I figure this way I'll get LOTS of it. It won't be pretty...but she won't care - she's 5. I have a customer quilt coming up, I won't be doing any FMQ on that one, lol. After that I'm going to make a few baby quilts for the Children's hospital and use them for practice too...they probably won't be pretty, either. Buuuut, you gotta start somewhere, right?
