I have been trying a new way of FMQ'ng today...its working great..I have been using the preset regular sewing setting and leaving the Dogfeeds up and not covering them. The stitches look great...so easy and no thinking..just make sure you pull the bobbin thread to the top. I have been starting on the edge on the batting....and changing the bobbin when its close to the end also on the batting that way the stitch is in well and no knots in my quilt. Well back to quilting...its getting there..oh and gutterman 100 percent cotton.
