Thanks so much for the heads up!
Thanks RedGarnet222 - I went there and ordered one for me to. Can't wait to see how this method works.

Thanks everyone - I'd love to see how you all get on with it after you have your books.

the std is pretty but the feathers made it stunning I wouldn;t have had the courage to practise on an existing peice

This is beautiful. I guess I am going to have to go to Amazon and see if I can get a copy of the book. Great job!

WOW that must be a real good book. How long have you been fmq. I love the feathers, but have been afraid to give them a try. I'll look that book up.

Thank you Fireworkslover for book tip - I am so pleased with the results!

First is the runner as it was, then as it looks now - I reckon I can charge a bit more now!
WOW - how much experience with FMQ did you have before you got the book? You say only a little practice with paper and pen and you were able to do THIS? Then I REALLY need to order this book!

All I have is a regular sewing machine that's about 30 years old. Mine doesn't have any stitch regulators like many of the newer machines have now. I do think you should practice drawing on paper first, to get your brain wrapped around the motions you need to make, before fmq. Just drop your feed dogs and go on a practice sandwich first before fmq on a quilt top.

Dkm and Shorebird - only recently done some fmq in borders which isn't meander or stipple. But I have done alot on
practice sandwiches, and I am always "doodling" on paper. There's another bit I did on page 5. I do feel quite relaxed doing it this way, which is how it should be I suppose.
