It's really entirely up to you! Some designs will work easier in some places than others, and I plan to start adding quilting in real quilts to videocasts in July.
I'm sorry to hear that many of the designs are intimidating. I'll try to work on that...maybe a new area of super easy designs?
Anyway, I'm glad to hear ya'll like the changes on the site and I hope it helps everyone learn to free motion quilt!

Oh thank you so much for your post as I am an avid fan of yours and have learnt so much from your site, I have used a couple of your designs, my particular favourite for my borders, at present, is a row of the Spiral chain and I love it.
I am sure I would be backed by 100s of quilters to see you do some "super easy designs" as I am stuck with stippling and a couple of leaves n lines as my choice.
I am very intimidated by a lot of the designs as they mean you have to go over previous stitching and I am not at all comfortable with that, yet, but I am sure with your help from your site I will get there, one day. :-P
Thank you again.
