That website is really good. Even I have picked up a few really good hints. With FM quilting the trick is consistency. Not too fast and not too slow. FM quilting is a big step. I don't like to waste so my first practicing were small quilts or placemats. If you are still uncomfortable try stitch in the ditch first. I went into FM quilting because I got bored with stitch in the ditch all my quilts. I wanted to create. Sometimes I can quilt smoother when I disable my foot control. The quilting gloves really help. However, I have such small hands that I am having a hard time find a pair that will stay on. I have short fingers and small hand spread.
