Hi Bonnie - I did use a walking foot and the edge of that foot as the guide for each row. It went VERY slow at the beginning and then a bit fast as the circle got bigger. Here is a link to the tutorial I adapted a bit:

I am working my way toward feeling for confident enough to try FMQ. ~smile~

Hi Sue,
I cut out a paper circle (drew around a glass the right size), pinned that on the quilt and very slowly went around it and then moved it up 1/2" and gradually kept sewing to that line. I then used the edge of my walking foot as the width for each row. I went through 4 bobbins!

Thank you again for all the kind words and praise! I'm looking at my next quilting project - I'm going to try chalk marking a template on the borders and straight stitching in the middle (I think). ~smile~
