I totally agree with you....i have never taken the time to really work on FMQ with my DSM....so straight line things are the way i go....and even though i start thinking about it when i start the quilt, sometimes i'm still puzzling the "how" even when it's been sandwiched.
GOOD LUCK.
Unfortunately the batting I came home with isn't what I intended to buy. It wasn't until I had it all pinned that I realized. It says 3.5 spacing. Thought I was getting the 10".
I started sewing one seam 1/4 inch away with an off white thread. But it just didn't suit me.
So you're suggesting inside the edges of the envelope? Might try that.
Sometimes I won't make a quilt because of "the not knowing how to quilt it" dilemma.
