I took 2-3 classes on FMQ. They got me started but I have pretty much given up on it. Once in awhile on a charity quilt I will give it a try but not on anything that is significant. I know it is practice, but I don't feel like practicing. Thank God, I have a machine that does a tremendous amount of decorative stitching and that is what I do. Anything else, goes to the Longarmer!
