Also, the advice some good free motion folks say is that practicing 10 minutes a day, every day, is better than trying to learn during infrequent hours long attempts. So that is what I am doing this time.
Yes, I agree that FMQ on a domestic machine works better on smaller quilts. My struggle is with moving around the heft of a larger quilt smoothly. Even if I roll up the edge that goes through the harp, FMQ on the larger quilts is like wrestling an anaconda!
