Free Motion Quilting Basics
 
Recieved this in my email this morning from Freebies for Crafters. I usually just delete it; but decided to open it too see what they are offering. For all you quiliters who are struggling with free motion quilting, I though this might help us. Hope I'm posting in the right place.

Thanks for the link. I especially like the explanation of what to so when you run out of bobbin thread in the midst of FMQing

Thanks for the link. I have a question. I was told to always start in the center of the quilt, which is how I end up in trouble as I often FMQ myself into a corner. I noticed this tute shows starting at a corner and meandering up and down, which would be so much easier. Does anyone know which is better -- starting in the center or the corner?
