How do we know we are ready to progress from practice sandwiches onto the real quilt? I've finished sewing the top of a table runner and feel so tempted to start FMQ but I lack the confidence! So, so worried that I would ruin the quilt. :(
One more thing, when I do meandering designs, is there a specific direction I should move? Top to bottom or side to side? Currently, I do not have a fixed direction to move...basically just moving according to my feel and sometimes end up at the same spot.
When I FMQ, do I always start and end the stitches only once on the quilt? I notice that I had to do this several times as the stitches sometimes end in an awkward spot, forcing me to end the stitches, then start all over again in a new spot.
