I took some of the kits that I had purchased ages ago and decided to sew them up for practice units on Free Motion. I watched a video from one site that I had purchased and it showed doing the Free Motion on a 12 inch sandwich, no seams. I figured ok even though the kits were missing pieces, I ended up grabbing from my stash to make the block, or pieces were cut too small etc. they will still work overall for practice.

I need to set up a time to practice. I would really like to Free Motion my quilts. Keep us updated on your progress:)

Good idea. I made a scrappy doll quilt and am going to practice FMQ.

I hear that it takes a lot of practice... I tried doodling on paper w/pencil. Hope you learn faster than me! I still can't do it... sob...

As soon as my garage sale is over (next Sat) and my sewing room is completely done I'm digging in to practice!!
Keep us posted. I really want to learn!!:)
