I just remembered I had a slider too so I've put it on the machine. Moving the quilt was a lot harder than I thought it would be so hopefully that will help.

I'm really paying close attention to the sound of my machine to get just the right speed between foot and hands. Not only do you have to be a contortionist to do this but also a multi-tasker. LOL!!

Girl I was sweating bullets when the needle went down the first time. LOL!! Just go for it and have fun. :thumbup:

Great job. I've been FMQing for 6 years and my stitches still aren't all the same size!

After talking hubby into me buying a new machine and the cabinet with the extension off the back I figured I'd better start using it. LOL!!

You know...that's what makes a handmade quilt special. Don't want it to look like it's come off an assembly line.
