I have just finished FMQing 3 crib quilts. When they say "relax", take it seriously! I found I was hunching my shoulders as I moved the fabric, which caused PAIN(!) from the death grip I had on the fabric between my hands as I moved it under the needle. So, when you catch yourself hunching, take a short break, roll your shoulders, stretch and maybe take a sip of good tea. Some FMQers take a sip of wine to relax, but I'm too chicken! I'll be the one quilting my fingers to the piece!!! Oh and remember the galloping horse rule: If you can't see the mistake as you gallop past on a horse, there IS NO mistake. Have fun!!
