I have a Pfaff 7570 and it took a while to learn to fmq. Get yourself a pair of quilter's gloves or tight fitting garden gloves w/rubber nubs on the fingers. Make a gazallion 12-15" practice blocks. I used muslin, different types of batting, backing. 1. Learn to go back and forth, then up and down and last; on the diagonal. 2. Next try loops while doing the exercise. Always relax, listen to music and only do it for about 15 minutes at a time, walk away and then come back so you do not get frustrated. Remember learning how to write in the first grade? Same thing. The practice sheets make great dust cloths, etc.
