Hi everyone, how are we all?

oh. my. days! Free motion quilting!!! Why did I think this was a good idea? Why did I fall in love with what is probably a design beyond my skill and experience? And why in the name of all things holy, can I not get my tension right!! If I see one more loop on the back of the practise piece I swear I will lose it completely

I have tested my tension using my usual piecing foot and all is well, from what I have read, it seemed my hands and feet are basically to working in sych, which is useful to know, but yet deeply unhelpful in sorting the problem out. I suspect this is all to be expected as I've really just started to FMQ, however it does shake one's confidence to see such ridiculous sewing appear from one's efforts!

Any suggestions would be very welcome, am I missing something obvious, apart from a lot more practise? Again, sorry to be all rant and moan, hope everyone is making something amazing.

much love
Mags
