I am sorry to hear that it did not work out the way you thought it would. I have had some experiences in the 21 years that I have been quilting, which turned out to be lessons learned. At least you did get to do some stitching. I did some on my little Brother SQ9000 a couple of years ago, just for fun, and found out that I would have to practice for about a decade before I could be any good at fmq. :-)
