Hello everyone. Just started to learn to machine quilt. I have one pinned together...but now I don't know what to do. I want to try to free motion an easy design but seems like there's a lot of different ways to do it and I'm lost on where to start. Help! :wink:

Welcome from Pine Grove, CA.

Regarding the machine quilting, I took a class and found out just how difficult it is. It takes a lot of practice. For now, I stitch in the ditich or sew straight line designs......eventually, I want to FMQ, too.

I machine pice alot, but nothing I do is exact. I end up doing alot of fudging with the corners. I want to learn to paper pice I have herd it is easier and more persise.I would start one block at a time and then sew them together Quilting is alot like a puzle. I like to start at the top, or bottom.A good tip is to keep you'r sewing mashine on a slow seting. I bet someone might know where a good tutorial is thow!
