I found some wonderful stencils to use. I am learning FMQ and I want to concentrate on the actual sewing. The stencils help me manage my space separately, so I can focus on what I am doing without having to stop and see what my overall space management should be. I suggest that you get a dark background quilt project and pounce to lightly mark what you want. I found that what had terrified me was suddenly wonderfully addictive when I tried pounce and stencils. I used a little soft brush to remove the excess pounce when I finished and was very pleased with my victory over fear of FMQ.
