I understand exactly what you're dealing with...it's like trying to write by moving the paper under the pen.
Get a bunch of muslin squares and batting to fit.
Then practice straight lines at a medium speed...
Do it over and over and over........and don't give up!
In elementary school I used to get frustrated with all the drills for the Palmer Method of penmanship, but I would do it over again in a heart beat...since people still compliment my penmanship....but wait...compared to what they see today, well...I should practice more. :shock: :shock:
If you are waiting to do your FMQ on a project the frustration level shoots way up there.....
Do the practice squares..............and don't give up!
I'm lucky because I was able to get a long arm frame and now have a mid-arm that I can use for my quilting...and believe me....I need a lot of practice there also! :thumbup:
