Free motion quilting
Happy holidays to everyone!!!
I had surgery last week, so have been having fun with ALL day to do nothing but quilt and read (OK, I admit, I'm getting a bit stir crazy LOL, but am having fun)
I have tried my hand a FMQ a number of times, and hated it. Figured it was because I was too impatient, you need WAY to much practice to make something look nice (as opposed to something a 5 year old shoved through the sewing machine).
So I sat down again this week and tried it again. And you know what? I still hate it. And I so wanted to be able to have these really pretty designs on my quilts and I simply can't do it. I don't know if it's technique, I don't know if it's a mental block, I really don't know.
It's not my machine, I have ZERO issues doing FMQ with my machine. I can't even sew over lines that I drew on fabric LOL
And honestly, when I look at it all done, I don't even like the look of the quilt at all. I much prefer the way I quilt things together.
Are there others out there like me that just prefer to quilt without doing FMQ?
