I need to work on my FMQ. I do fine on a sandwich, but trying to FMQ even a small quilt just does not work. I can't co-ordinate my hand speed with machine speed. I have practiced, but it just doesn't seem to improve at all.

I am working on FMQ also. Trying to do the Leah Day class on Craftsy and also just took some classes from Pam Clarke. She is great and I do much better in the class room then on the discipline to sit down and make time for Craftsy classes.
Also trying to improve my needle turn applique.

Instead of trying to make the little stipples try doing a large stipple. You can always refine it once you can do the larger size. I do a large stipple, just can't get the hang of the small ones. I really like the large stipple better than the small. I don't care for heavy quilting on my quilts. Looks great on other, just MHO.

Jeanne,
Although i have never done it I do have a friend who wants to teach me.
HERE is a link to a gorgeous quilt.
Traunto is where you "stuff" extra batting/filling into a design and quilt around
the design to give the look of "puffiness".

I have had my viking for 6 years snd just discovered I have a new machine in my machine. I am getting excited to try FMQ with mine plus add embroidery to some of my quilts plus all of the feet that I have discovered. It helps when you read and look at you books that come with your machine.
