To help with muscle memory of FMQ, you can also just print out some designs on cheap paper, use an old needle in your machine with no thread and practice following the lines. Once you are comfortable with that, then you can move on to the practice sandwich & thread. The first time I tried FMQ I worried so much about the layers of fabric & batting, thread tension, & trying to make every stitch look perfect that I couldn't relax and just try to get the movements down. Practicing on paper w/the machine & no thread removed a lot of the stress. Drawing things on paper as practice didn't seem to make sense to me since when I draw I only use one hand & the movements are nothing like when moving a quilt on a machine.
