My daughter and I took the Free Motion Boot Camp class....it was great! Since my daughter had never tried free motion, she took to it like a pro. The instructor just bragged on her....I was amazed. I have been sewing and quilting for years and could not come close to her beautiful FM....so you see how hung up we can be in quilting habits.....the novice was free in her thinking and listening to every word of the instructor. "Mom, this is fun" came out her mouth so many times. I was so proud of her and her work. She is 40, full of life, no quilting inhibitions and it showed in her work. Now she uses FM all the time.
