Thanks Shirlx
Did you have wrist problems before you started doing meandering quilting? If so, you might want to discuss this with your doctor to make sure your okay to do this kind of work without causing more problems. But if not, and the meandering itself has caused the pain, then it sounds like you're having to drag the quilt too much. I would try a teflon sheet under your quilt to make it glide easier with less strain on your wrist. Also, starching your backing material before sandwiching helps a lot to make it glide along. Another thing, is your sewing surface level, or are you working with your machine on top of a table? When you work on a level surface (your machine is sunk down in the table to make a flat sewing surface) this makes FMQ much, much easier on you and your wrists.
I hope this has helped you some! Good luck!! :D :D
