I just started doing FMQ when I got a new machine - years ago. I read all I could find and the first one didn't look very good but I improved quickly.I have made and quilted 92 quilts, mainly double and bigger I like the looks and I love doing it. I just do a large meandering design. I don't do anything fancy, no leaves, flowers. vines or anything. I was determined to learn machine quilting so I could say I made it all myself. I have two machines with 9" throats. My first new machine probably had a 6" throat. I always start in the center of a sandwiched quilt and make a big + and then always quilt next to quilting. I quilt border/borders last.
I only quilt my own quilts, only have to please myself, not always easy.
