That is beautiful. My machine has the small stippling. But it takes a long time.

Oh MimiBug, please don't give up! It IS harder than the videos make it look, and it takes a lot of practice, but it is so rewarding when you can finally produce something you like! My first attempts were AWFUL, but I was determined and kept at it. After the first few months of practicing, I was finally able to start FMQing on pieces I wanted to keep...

Very pretty. I love your courage in trying new techniques. Yes, you should definitely do a whole cloth. It seems as though that's your logical next step! lol. Your work is always amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That's superb! I've always loved crosshatching but curved is even better! Yes, go for a mini whole cloth -- you won't regret it! A showstopper ready to be born!:thumbup:

What is a hopping foot? I have the new Janome free moion foot that keeps the foot from constantly doing that anoying hopping so that it is much easier to do free motion. I am curious what you mean by a hopping foot
