The best thing I would say is to not be too critical about your early efforts. Try to do a real project, not just try to get everything perfect on samples before doing a real quilt. I had issues with getting an even stitch (still do sometime!), but all the people who got my quilts never noticed and loved them. Even if there are "defects" in your quilting, once the quilt has been washed the crinkles hide a multitude of sins <grin>. Remember that straight lines are the hardest to do iN FMQ so concentrate on curves. Eyelashes on the back are usually caused by moving too fast on the curves; concentrate on keeping the movement even.
