Free Motion Quilting

I was wondering who likes to do free motion quilting?

I just found this link for free pattern ideas for free motion quilting

I'm trying to learn. Does that count.

Have you bought any books on Free Motion Quilting and if so name of books and author. This way we can all learn together. Have fun!

Yes I have it is Heirloom Machine Quilting By Harriet Hargrave

I have never tried it . At the moment happy with SID :thumbup:

Crafty have you tried it yet ? Any luck with it ?

I want to learn just have gotten up the courage to try. It is very intimidating to me. I don't want to ruin a quilt if I can't do it correctly.

I have enjoyed watching Leah Day's video tutorials online. She is a very fluent free motion quilter. Check out her link.

Thanks for the links. I am trying to master my BSR but it's mastering me instead. I know I'll love it once I get the hang of it but wowsters, I can control my little hand quilting needle much better!

I am still learning. I tend to stress out while I'm machine quilting. The first 2 quilts I did on the machine kept puckering and folding on the back. Ugh, it made me nuts. Now, I stop every few stitches and feel the back to make sure. I like the control of hand quilting, but I like the stippling effect of machine quilting.
