I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet on this thread, although I read thru them pretty quick so I apologize if this is a repeat, and perhaps it seems obvious, but to me, it made all the difference in the world with my FMQing and it just sort of happened for me, but it wasn't right away. But when it did, it was indeed and Ah Ha moment. Just like you drive a car, watch where you are going when you are quilting. Don't watch the needle. You can practice this when you draw too and you will find your drawing will improve as well and give you the practice of watching where you want to go. Just try quilting a straight line and look ahead to your target destination. Your line will be straighter. It will come, don't give up!
