Forgot to add-I simply appliqued the pumpkins by machine using a blanket stitch and free handed a twirly little vine at the top after adding stem and leaf! :)

this is really really cute!

Well done! You probably needed a little less tension on your top thread but a perfectly balanced stitch for FMQ is tough. I usually just use the same colour in the bobbin as the spool. The gloves help tremendously! My favourites are Machingers.

The gloves really do help hang onto the quilt better. And Leah Day suggested always using the same color in the top and bottom to alleviate that problem. I don't always, but I can see the advantages of it.
I'm no expert (did my first FMQ last summer) but enjoy it. I'm starting to learn to enjoy doing it and hopefully some day I'll actually get "good". :) I long to be able to try some flowers and something other than just stippling. I found myself almost doing something like that the other day, but not quite. I still don't have the control I need yet--but just keep practicing, mostly on charity quilts. I feel like it's a perfect place to learn to be "good" at this thing called FMQ. And I think your table runner looks really nice! |
