I'm a Slowpoke....speed on your mid/longarm
On my Tiara (I don't use a stitch controller) my top speed for doing FMQ is usually about 16, can go as low as 13 when using rulers or depending on what I'm doing. I got up to 18 when I was doing Figure 8's over an entire length of sashing. I thought I was a speed demon.
I watched a HandiQuilter video where the lady said she'll often reduce her speed "Way down to 30" when she uses rulers. Way down to 30? Then I read an article from Helen Godden where she said that most people who have trouble with FMQ are going too slow...they should set their machines at 30 and have a fast machine and slow hands. 30 again!
So, I'm just wondering...what speed do you set your machines at? Just curious...I'm not about to change anything because this works for me...but, am I the only one creeping along?
