I struggled with developing my FMQ skills, but it takes time. I decided to use my Janome 14000 for quilting. I purchased some designs specifically for quilting (regular embroidery designs are too messy on the back). I also have software to size my designs exactly(Sew What Pro). I have completed 3 quilts this way and plan on continuing with it. I love the perfect designs and ease of quilting. The selection of designs is wonderful. Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions.
