I am going to start learning to FMQ also.
I am still scared, but have decided to do the following:
I am going to start with things small.....like place mats...and burp cloths (my DIL is expecting a girl in June).
I figure the plates will cover the mistakes in the place mats and the baby will "burp" all over the mistakes in the burp cloths....
Then I will go the next step..when I figure what the next step would be.
