My best advice to those struggling with FMQ is to get a small white board and draw your quilting patterns over and over on the white board. It builds muscle memory and teaches your brain which way to go. Helps you not quilt yourself into a corner and is cheaper than paper or quilt sandwiches. Yes, you have to practice on the machine too but you would be surprised how much the white board practice helps. I'm pretty good at FMQ but still use the board when learning a new pattern.
