I am taking a class from Craftsy. Even though I've done quite a bit of FMQ, I am learning all sorts of little tricks to help with tension, thread choice, hand placement, etc. Good Luck to you. Not all practice is perfect. Most of mine was downright ugly. Because it is "free motion" it will never be perfectly uniform, but the over-all look is great. Plus, it will have a part of your heart stitched into it because you have invested your time and talent.
