This is a great suggestion. When I was practicing I used pieces of felt. I also think that if you doodle the motif that you want to stitch out it will help you develop muscle memory. I use any flyers, newspapers and a sharpie and doodle designs when I’m stuck on the phone with my chatty sister. I really does help when you go todo the motif with your machine.
