This is what learning looks like

I think you've done well. Also IMHO, if you have a good size throat on your machine you'll get better results. Just Once I'd like to see one of these FMQ teachers show how to FMQ on a small domestic machine with a 6" throat.

You are doing great. Throw it on the floor or step back and look at it. I will be great! I am actually trying something new on a baby quilt I am FMQ with my Bernina BSR foot. I am making little flowers and swirly connections in between on with the Hi-De-Ho fabric from Me and My Sister. At first I wasn't sure, but I did the look from afar test and it is good enough for this sweet little baby I am making this for. We are always our own worst critics. Enjoy you accomplishments!!

I'm really in the same boat, never really FMQ after a good number of years total sewing/quilting. I'm *very* impressed with your 'learning' work! I think you have a great idea with doing practice on some donation quilts for rescue animals! I'll keep that in mind when I'm sure I don't want to 'ruin' a quilt I've finished with my beginner FMQ!

Jojk...one thing that helped me was to make my practice sandwiches out of one side white and the other side dark and then use a white thread. That way you can see how it would look on a real quilt (light side) and still get a good look at your stitches up close and personal (dark side)
