I'm getting ready to teach myself to FMQ. I can stitch in the ditch just fine and I can stencil a design on and sew over it ok. Now to move onto something else. I have a hard time figuring out what to do. I dont know if I'll ever be great at it but I don't have to be. I already know that I can't afford to send it out even though I love Charisma's quilts on here; she's great. I have seen approx. prices for different quilters and I can't afford it; it's not that they don't deserve I just can't afford it. I'm not going to quilt and have nothing but tops laying around even if I have to tie each one or do the QAYG method; I'm going to do them.
