Hello everyone. Just started to learn to machine quilt. I have one pinned together...but now I don't know what to do. I want to try to free motion an easy design but seems like there's a lot of different ways to do it and I'm lost on where to start. Help! :wink:

Hi and welcome from Lakeland, Florida!! I hand quilt, but someone on this wonderful board will be able to get you going in the right direction. It's something I'd like to learn too!

Hi from the Gainesville area! Sorry I can't answer your question about machine quilting because I usually hand quilt. I'm hoping to learn to machine quilt this year.

Welcome from Orlando! It depends on how you like to learn, but there are wonderful free motion quilting videos on YouTube, and there are step-by-step photographed tutorials all over blogland. Not to mention a variety of books written on the subject.

This quilter is my hero! Warning: she makes it look easy! http://www.freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/

Welcome from Pine Grove, CA.

Regarding the machine quilting, I took a class and found out just how difficult it is. It takes a lot of practice. For now, I stitch in the ditich or sew straight line designs......eventually, I want to FMQ, too.
