Still having some problems with starting when I've stopped and have those dreaded points but I'll get there. WOOHOO!!! Wanted to show a couple pictures and to say thanks to everyone who helped me. :-D :thumbup:

I've been fmqing for a year now and I still often get those dreaded points when starting up again after re-positioning the quilt. You're off to a great start!
