I just started quilting as well, and FMQ'ing, this link I am posting is to Leah Day, her free motion quilting instructions are so easy, she starts slow, and grows your skills. Think of it as a way to make tons of dog blankets
while practicing and learning. Most shelters (if you dont have a fur baby) would welcome donated blankets.

I watched literally tons of you tube videos and took classes and it wasnt until I watch Leah's method of teaching that it "clicked" with me and I got over my fear
mind you I am not that great at FMQ, I will caveat that with I dont practice, I just opted to get a Long Arm and go that route.
Good Luck!
