I have had trouble when I try to hurry too much. I have tried different things, like, meandering, hearts, leaves, flowers. It depends on the quilt. It tells me what it wants done. I just have to sit and wait for it to talk to me. No, I am not crazy! I made a wall hanging for my SIL in Arizona. I did cacti all around the border. It turned out that, that is exactly what it needed. Someday I will have to get some pics on here.
