Looks great. I love fmq. I try to practice every day for awhile. I have a big quilt I almost have finished and want to follow some of Leah Days patterns for the quilt.

I got this machine yesterday, and had only straight-stitched on it 3 times before.

Beautiful quilt and quilting. I do a large stipple and love it and love doing it. You just need to make more quilts. You are very good.

What I find most difficult about FMQ is keeping the stitches even. I don't see an uneven stitch at all in your quilt! Great job.

You did a fantastic job for your first one. and as you go you will start to swarl more and get more flowing. I free motion flowers and hearts and swarls (no pattern just playing) yours is just wonderful.
