I sent my machine out to be serviced so it would work perfectly, it's a Janome Horizon. The stitch look good after service but I don't want to get into the middle of a project and find it's not working for me.

Any suggestions on how I should FMQ this would be helpful. I have to do it on my Horizon and the colors are tan and the "books" are jewel tones so I'm not sure how to do it. I don't want a dark color on the tan sections, help anyone?

This is a link to the MSQ tute. Just picture tan instead of the white strips and jewel tones as the darker color.

I use monopoly all the time. I do use with a thread stand and only on top, not the bobbin. It works very well for my purposes. I usually use white polyester or cotton in the bobbin.
No shredding at all.
