Well, here goes. I have another quilt to FMQ. I have cleaned my machine.I have my blue dot bobbin case installed. I have the correct thread and needle. I have practiced on a square of identical fabrics as the quilt.I have basted and pinned.And i am following all the ideas from this thread on the forum. I will let you know later how I fared...or you may just remember that the screams in the galaxy that you hear tonight are from Gimli, Manitoba, Canada, and my frustration levels have reached the upper limit!!!
