I just did my first FMQ quilt, it was very nerve racking, but like everyone says, relax and just do it, you can! I found if I turn my machine and quilt I could handle the fabric a little better, here's a pic. Took two tables and a smaller one where the height adjusts in the middle. Can't wait to see your quilt, it will be beautiful!

What a clever way to arrange your tables. Love that idea.
My machine sits too high & I can't raise my chair anymore so I rolled up a big pc. of W&N batting to sit on. Sure helped til I needed to use the W&N. LOL

I am just starting a piece that I hoped to do FM quilting on and have been afraid I will ruin my piece but with all the great posts here I think I am ready. Now all I need is to get off this computer, it doesn't quilt well!

We expect too much of ourselves a lot of times.
