I love some of the FMQ that I see on here and Craftsy, etc. However, I am not experienced or confident enough in my FMQ skills to do it on most of my quilts. I was fortunate enough to take some classes from Ann
Petersen at a local quilt shop, and have downloaded one of her classes on Quilting on your domestic machine, and will try to get better over time.
The other side of the coin is that many of the modern quilts that I see seem to have more straight line than FMQ as part of the overall design of the quilt. And I do like those too.
So in my case, I think whichever fits either the design of the quilt or the experience of the quilter, is the best choice. In the end, if you are happy with the finished product, then the method you use is the best.
Happy Quilting,
Susan
