I feel your pain! I thought for 7 years that I had to, absolutely had to, do FMQ. Well, I am very comfortable saying I don't like it, do very little of it and finally don't care if I ever do it. I enjoy all other aspects of quilting but not that. It frustrates me to death. I just bought a new BAby Lock Journey. It has so many decorative stiches (250+) that I use these to finish my quilts. I just love getting creative with them. So, while I love quilting, I don't enjoy every aspect of it.
