It has taken me some time to get any kind of flow going with my free motion quilting, but it does get easier with every quilt or so. One of my easiest designs was a simple meandering and occasionally stopping and stitch a star about 1-1/2 inches in width. I would suggest that you stop with each line however. Just get in a frame of mind that you are in the 4th grade once again and it is Christmas. Now draw (stitch)those five lines as you would any star on top of a Christmas tree. Stopping with each line gave my mind a chance to think the directional change and give me the opportunity to make a point at each end. Good Luck!
