What I have learned or been taught is via a co-worker and here on the board.
Or am I one that is 'stuck in the middle"?

It's probably technically incorrect to do it that way, but I feel that I have much more control over what I'm doing with them up.
don't abandon the idea of fm just because you can't adjust the the feed dogs. Send me an email and we can discuss it further if you'd like.

What a great idea. I would be willing to share what I have learned and hopefully learn more in the process. I have done paper piecing, curved piecing and machine applique. I usually miter corners. I'm a stickler for accuracy but love the creative side! Right now my goal is to develop myself into more of an art quilter than a traditional quilt maker. I have used a long arm, but prefer to hire it professionally done. I'm working at improving my FM quilting skills, but I have along way to go to meet my expectations. If interested, PM me.

Let's see I don't know how to hand quilt...B/c I have never tried and I can't say that I know how to FMQ..unless it is a small project b/c I have only ever long armed my quilts??
I DO know how to applique, paper peice and peice?? I don't know..I produce alot of quilts but I think all of us feel like beginners because we learn new things all of the time....so I guess I can try to lead because I don't feel like a "true" beginner?? If that makes sense?
