I have never tried free motion. I cannot draw at all. So my question is do you outline the pattern before you quilt? If so, how, what tool, etc.? I want to quilt stars on the denim I am using for the twins quilts. My new sewing machine will FM and I also have a walking foot. So should I just use the WF and outline a star from a pattern? Please help me as I want these quilts to be very special. A step great aunt (of the twins) is a LA quilter and while I know I cannot compet with her, I want to do the best I can.
