Looks great. Just keep practicing and remember to relax as it shows up in the stipling. Don't forget to wear gloves also. Almost all I do is FMQ and I love it. Washing and drying helps a lot.

Keep practicing.

what kind of gloves?

Looks great from what I see. You did good!

I think it looks great! My first stippling attempts looked like I was having seizures while sewing. It takes awhile, but now my backs look as good as the front. Practice is the key!

Lovely quilt, I'm sure only you will notice the uneven stitches!

Your quilt is beautiful. What size? about 16x16. I tried on a very large quilt and made a mess. Your colors are great.

:lol: Well I got a good chuckle out of that mzsooz. I know how you feel the first time I tried it I felt the same way you do.
Someone suggested to me that I use some old pillowcases or sheets, sandwich them together and practice on those. It worked out great. I am still not anywhere where I would like to be but I love doing my own quilting. I find it very relaxing now that I am better at it. As long as my machine behaves itself, LOL.

I try and try free motion, mainly no good at it. One thing, I think I get in a hurry to get it done!!!! So after ripping out 2 entire lap quilts from bad free motion, I have made sandwiches for practice. Will turn them into hotmats. I intend to learn free motion and get good at it! Then make some more and practice again til I get it! I am tired of ripping out!

Thanks! It is actually 20X20. I decided to try the stippling on a small project first and glad I did. Probably should have started with a potholder!! :lol: :lol:

I remember experiencing the same thing as you are doing now, but you just have to jump in & do it or you never will!
I did think the sandwiches were a waste of material, so I bought some (what I call) cheaters cloth (pre-printed design in quilt pattern) and added batting and backing and practiced to my hearts content and until I had the size stitches and curves in stippling down pat. When I was finished I had a very usable quilt which was kept in the car and used many times on picnics, at ball games etc. Still in use today, thirty yrs later.

that is a cute little quilt, and you did a great job on quilting it. thank you for sharing, and God bless. Penny

Looks good to me!!

Good job. Love those fabrics.

You are doing great! The trick is to slow down, both how fast you move the quilt and your foot control. My stitches get longer or shorter when I first start out after repositioning my hands. Urgh.

Very pretty quilt!!! Practice, practice, 7 more practice or so they say,lol!! You did a fine job on the quilting!

great job. adorable quilt

Looks great to me.

Nothing wrong with that.

It's very pretty. I love the rick-rack and the fabric combinations. Once you pop it in the washer and dryer even you won't notice any of those little boo-boos in the FMQ stitches. I think you did a great job and it gets easier each time. Pat yourself on the back!!!

It looks great. The more you do the better you get, but I think it looks just fine.
