FMQ my first quilt!
I am learning free motion on my very first quilt. Phew! It's scary, exciting and fun all at once! I did the Star Bright pattern and used the walking foot to do the quilting on the star part. Now I am working on the wavy lines using a free motion foot. The quilt is huge and I am using a lovely green Singer 15-125 vintage machine. I didn't get a Supreme Slider but I have quilting gloves. The machine is in a cabinet and I have extra tables to the side and front.
Things are going pretty well but I have a question. When I have to stop to re-position my hands (and that's very often) I have trouble sometimes getting the start and stop point of the stitching to flow smoothly. I want my curves to continue the exact line-not to have a little off stitch when I didn't get it quite right. As Murphy's Law dictates, this is most likely to happen when I am crossing a dark square with light thread. Is there a trick to it?
