I always use quilting gloves, that way my hands don't slip, they are a must for me

Well, I'm just now getting ready to start practicing. Other than the Free Motion attachment for my machine, I found quickly I needed a pair of those gloves with the little rubbery dots on them. ha. You cannot MOVE that fabric under the needle without something to grip it. I guess I'll be just like you - Practice, Practice, Practice going around and up and down and meandering all over the place. We'll check on each other later and see HOW we're doing. lol

I love the wine idea!!!!!!!

Patience and the willing to practice, practice, practice, and more patience. It has taken me about 1 yr to feel somewhat comfortable with the process and the outcome. Enjoy.

a YEAR????? ugh

Which of the videos for free motion was the best? What site? THANKS.

Me too; I worked on practice pieces and then graduated to small projects like placemats, wallets, and cosmetic bags for a good year before I even tried an actual quilt. My best advice it to EXPECT a long learning curve. Your first attempts won't meet your expectations; keep practicing and learn to enjoy the process along the way!

I am just learning to quilt and I find that videos help me a lot. Can someone tell me the best ones and where to find them?

yup the wine is what i need to gess i better go downstair and get a bottle since a kind friend gave us like a 100 bottles or somthing like that. Bet when im done using the wine up ill be an expert FMQ LOL
