Well I tried.. This is a table topper for my sister-in-law..All it needs is binding..It was fast!!!This free motion quilting is like dancing..(Which I was never good at) Think I will like it once I get the hang of it..But don't think I can do anything very big!

Yeah, you tried. It looks great and the more you do it the more proficient you will become.

I think it turned out great. I do a fairly decent SITD but FMQ still eludes me. I was never good at talking and chewing gum at the same time either :cry: :cry: A major lack of coordination on my part!

You did a great job with the quilting. I love the colors you used. Very pretty. :)

Me either; just can't make it flow. Every time I try FMQ it looks like I was trying to do squares and failed. My machine has a large stipple stitch that I use a lot. I am going to try doing more than just narrow areas for it.

I think it looks great. Practice will improve your technique.

It looks great to me. Now if only I could do that. Can't seem to get the hang of FMQ.
