Am totally there with you on this......after years of quilting on and off I have really gotten into it since joining this board a couple of months ago.
Due to all the all comments, pictures, andsupport this board gives....I tried my hand at rree machine quilting on my last quilt...just stippling... and the bottom tension was unpicked a couple of times but I perseverd and I have had another go on a cot quilt I have just done....stippling and random flower design this time ....and I'm loving it....can't wait to make my next one just to FMQ....
