This is my first real attempt at FMQ. I had dabbled now and then, but always was frustrated. Now I think I am getting the hang of it, even if I tend to occasionally jerk while changing direction
I drew lines on this fabric, though the lines were only to keep me going in the general direction. I rarely hit the line when doing the meander part.
The drawn kind of flower pattern was much easier for me to do. Not sure if that is strange or not. It could be that the pattern was basically straight or fairly straight curves
I prefer the patterns like the flower over the stipple.
I'm going to fill this piece of fabric with various patterns, and then move on to another, possibly more complex design, but with straighter curves.
I also found out why you draw up the bottom thread at the start. It keeps the thread from bunching underneath, which seems to be typical of all my machines
