I see so many beautiful quilts here and wonder if I would ever learn to do an even stitch. I think I just have to practice but check out this website I came across thanks to somebody posting it in other thread.

I didn't know how to create a hyperlink, so just copy and paste the address above into your browser.
I think this is what I needed to get inspiration and try FMQ.

There are so many fun FMQ designs on this site :D:D:D
Love her videos too!

That *is* a working hyperlink! It works whenever you type in (or cut and paste) the complete url.

I see- it didn't seem to work while I was copying it.
thanks amma.

Leah Day has so much helpful information to get you started with FMQ. I doubt I would have continued trying to learn if I hadn't found her site (daystyledesigns.com). Her blog is good, also. Check out her videos showing how to set up your machine area, well, and everything else! Have fun!

Leah always has interesting stuff on her site. And don't worry - you'll get a nice stitch with practice. Until then, remember that when you wash your quilt, the quilting will be camoflaged and it will look perfect. :) I never pre-wash my quilt fabrics for this reason. I like the quilt to shrink up and wrinkle like an antique and hide all my mistakes.

I am so with you on this I like the look of my quilts when they are washed after it is quilted, so do not pre-wash my fabrics, I do test them for color fastness.

I have tried and tried and tried and tried to learn FMQ - all to no avail ... until someone asked me if I was trying in with cotton thread...??? No, not me, THUS MY PROBLEM. This weekend I did some FMQ with cotton thread and NO PROBLEM...Of course, I used my quilting gloves to move the material around. I'm ADDICTED !!!!!!!

Great site and FM ideas.....Love it Thanks

Thanks for the site. I could use some inspiration myself!
