I get all tied up in knots, my stitches are so uneven and the design looks like it was done by a 3 year old.
I am best suited for SID, my own swirly loopy meandering, or edge-to-edge pantograph. Anything else is just beyond my abilities...I don't have that kind of artistic ability.
I feel for you....we should start a club...The Unable to FMQ Quilters!! :-)
I'm ready to join. I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler, no joke. My daughter said she doesn't understand how I can cut fabric straight. Well me either. My FM looks like "hen scratching and then they just ran around and went to sleep and woke up startled". Oh well they do say that practice makes perfect, maybe for some folks, but I'm going to keep plugging along. Maybe some day ya think?
