I have been having a terrible time with fmq....it doesn't look too bad but the stitches are not even at all...I just tried EllieGirl's method with the feed dogs up and regular stitch length....WOW!!! What a difference....am going to do a lot more of fmq now...tomorrow I am quilting a Linus Project quilt and will use fmq and hopefully will post tomorrow....thank you EllieGirl!!!
