The hardest thing for me to FMQ is a straight line of all things. You'd think that would be easy, wouldn't you?
Nothing wrong with that.
Doing straight lines is, IMHO the hardest thing to do with FMQ. I absolutely cannot do them without a ruler and even then going pretty slow.
I had tried may times to do FMQ and also hated it, and the I took a class on Craftsy from Cindy Needham and something just clicked. I don't know what she said or did, but I got hooked. Since then, I started on my domestic machine and was thrilled with the results. Then made the mistake of going to a shop and trying out a sit down quilter - bought it. Just last week, I got a stand up long arm, and have not looked back. I definitely blame it all on Cindy N. She does amazing work on a domestic machine, and got me started. Now, it is my happy place.
