It's just beautiful, love the brightness of the colors and your FMQ design looks very nice.
Yes, that helps, do you start in the center and how do you mark your design on the quilt top.
Do you drop your feed dog? I tried that and it seemed to do better with them left up.
I also put my stitch regulator at the lowest position, but I'm am just learning to regulate speed (knee lever) and work my hands to make designs. I'm working on a quilt sandwich, but can't imagine how it will be to work a design on the whole quilt top.
It still would be nice to see how the process works on the 301. I've watched other tutorials but the machines are different. Thank you for all the detail you provided
