I should be so good and I have been "attempting" it for several years.

Previously I have mainly done straight lines with a walking foot and only on table runners and baby quilts. I realize it is not anywhere near perfect but this is a great way to practice for when I eventually quilt one for myself.

Great job on free motion. I think I threw my first attempt away it was so bad. Yours is great. Keep up the good work.

I am so jealous, yesterday I trid free motion quilting and what a mess top looked fine, the threads underneath were all loose. When I tried a sample it seemed OK, Now I have to rip it all out. OHHHHHHHHHHH -- J

That stinks. Hopefully it won't be too bad to rip out.
I just got a new Elna and it quilts like a dream.
