Default The promise I made

A few years ago I promised myself to learn FMQ before I buy a upgrade my machine.
I tried once and it was a complete disaster. Couldn't even get a straight stitch.
I think I set the tension at zero instead of stitch length at zero. LOL
Anyway, long story short. I put FMQ away for a long long time. Then my quilt tops
started accumulating. Don't want to do SID or straight line quilting on a very special
quilt. So my option was...send it to a long armer or do it myself. Huh.
I finally gave FMQ another shot. Made a few quilt sandwiches. Read a few books
on quilting and off I went. Wow. It was almost magical. Nothing like the first attempt.
Ok. I know I have long long way to go but it's really fun and I encourage all quilters
to give it a try. I would also recommend Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy by
Eva Larkin if you just want to get started. Have fun!
