I just saw this thread. I love the responses that you all gave. This encourages me as well. I am still working on free motion quilting as well. I have always thought that I need to do something complicated before I can truly say I have free motion quilted a quilt. I feel better knowing now that is not exactly true. Thanks again for the encouragement even though this is not my post. Glad to know I can always learn something new from this community.
