    Default FMQ - HA! I need to practice!

    This was my first ever attempt at free motion quilting. It looks so easy!! But wow do I need to practice!!

    I tried to do some pebbles, feathers, a daisy and a heart. Good luck finding them! LOL

    Try writing your name, it's something we all know how to do, so it's good practice.

    Look at Leah Day's site. It inspires me, because I'm not that good either. Good luck.

    Don't give up, that looks very good for a first ever try!! It only gets better. Doodle with a pencil, that helped me alot. Practice often. Best of luck!

    It is hard, isn't it ? I usually catch onto things easily, but this is harder than it looks. I did find all the things you mentioned though, so you aren't that bad !
