FMQ small Janome (DC 2011) machine. Is this doable?
I’m teaching a friend to FMQ (free motion quilt) on a small Janome 2011 basic (with many stitches) machine. She bought the special foot for FMQ. We worked with it for about 10 hours and haven’t been able to get it to consistently FMQ on it. We’re using cotton fabrics after a bad foray into polyester. We’ve tried lots of threads, tension adjustments, new needles etc. I’m a bit of an expert in tension so feel pretty confident we’ve got that right. It works beautifully when doing piecing.
Has anyone had experience FMQ on this or the 2012 machine? Any hints?
is this a lost cause? Should she buy a new machine for FMQ ( see next post)
Thanks
