I hand quilt almost exclusively but have always been sorta intrigued by the idea of FMQ. Smaller projects I have done with SITD and it goes quicker. The stuff I see on here done with FMQ makes me drool. So- I borrowed a machine from a friend of mine that had the ability to drop the feed dogs. My only machine is a FW 221. Yeah, feel bad for me :) Getting the hang of moving stuff in different directions is hard as I try it out - but tracing paper on top sounds like genius to me. Thanks for the idea! I'm on it!
