Default Sewing Machine Cover

I was somewhat neglecting my mom's birthday quilt this weekend as I am so exited about my new sewing corner that I couldn't wait but had to use the machine... I finally got a sewing corner!
I did put some scraps together and made a machine cover. As this is my first piece of machine quilting, I did not dare to do FMQ (my trial piece showed that I still need to practise a lot first!) but (more or less) straight lines. Here's the result:

Your points seem to match so that is half the battle. You may want to start of doing what is called Crosshatching. They are straight lines normally at a 45 degree angle. Hand quilters use that stitch as filler for the background on their lovely applique quilts. Job well done.

I don't do well on FMQ either. I do love your machine cover.

Oh so much prettier than the one I made. Mine ended up in my Charity stuff. Hopefully someone liked it. Love yours.
