well....I have spent quite a bit of time practicing free motion quilting. @mermaid, I do have a quilting foot and now know how to use it (and how to drop the feed dogs). I have also used basting spray for the first time. There is quite a learning curve, isn't there? I have watched tons of videos on Youtube. My little quilt is still unquilted....mostly out of fear of actually doing it by machine. SO...tomorrow I am off from work and will be going to my mother in law's quilting group at her church. They make tons of baby quilts and quilts for shut-ins. All of their work is by machine. So hopefully I will learn something from these gifted ladies. Thanks for the advice and I will keep you posted.
I will say, it's been fun trying something new. I bought a couple of things 'suggested' to make it easier. A pair of gloves and a little slider mat that is supposed to help with the drag. Haven't used them yet...
