I will only FMQ on very small projects on my Janome such as table runners, hot pads or a QAYG. I have tried it on larger throw sizes and I just do not enjoy the struggle that I have to go through to do it. The shoulder, neck and back aches just isn't worth it to me. I am in awe of the quilters who do FMQ a full size or larger quilt on the DSM. I bow to them!
You are so right Auntpiggylpn .. we all are learning every day something new in quilting, crafting, sewing... Like the old saying: do what you want to do .. and do learn all you can (well that is a saying in our family! passed down through generations!!)
