I agree, not bad for a first try. You should have seen my first try - stitches from miniscule to 1/2" long. One of the best tips I got was from Leah Day. Get a striped piece of fabric and FMQ straight down the lines. You're used to sewing in that direction. Concentrate on the sound of your machine to get your hands moving at the same speed as your machine, might have to change the speed of your machine several times to find a speed you can stay right on the lines and keep stitches even. Don't look at the stitches, just follow the line and feel your machine. My stitches started coming out very even. It is harder when you start going in other directions and start doing circles, but this exercise did help me quite a bit.
