Practicing FMQ
 
Here are my two first Machine Quilting Practice pieces. I'm going to put them together for a sewing machine mat with pockets for the seam ripper and other goodies.

I just got a couple of Zentangle quilting books. Is that what you're doing? If not, it certainly could be. It looks fun!

Great way to make use of your practice pieces. Just always remember NEVER stop on a curve. :)

Most but not all of these came out of the 365 patterns by Leah Day. On the top picture is some of the straight line patterns that are suggested in the Machine Quilting book by Harriet Hargrove. Then the rest are suggested patterns by my teacher. I was told to stop at intersections but that isn't always possible with a small kenmore machine. But what is really hard are quilting when I get near the edge and can't hold on to the material.

Oh, I just was looking at zentangle on pinterest the other day! What books did you purchase? I'd love to buy them!
