Have you checked out Leah Day's web site. She does free classes; right now she's doing a FMQ quilt along with a new thing each week. Her site has a wealth of information and she does it all on a domestic machine. It might help.

By the way; I was born and raised in WV. My sister lives in Buchannan, my granddaughter and great grandaughter live in Fairmont and I also have family that live in Kingwood/Rowlesburg area. We're all over up there. I go back a couple of time a year and go to the quilt shop in Buchannon and Elkins while I'm there. There are a lot of hillbilly gals on here. Some don't live there now but once a hillbilly always a hillbilly.

A BIG hello and a warm welcome from southeastern WV....glad you're here. I've been away for a few months but am glad to be back myself. I'm a new (first-time) grandmother and between baby-sitting him and checking on my elderly parents who live 2+hours away I just haven't had time to sew let alone check the board recently.

I too am kind of new to machine quilting. I've been a hand-quilter for 30+ years (since my first quilting class in 1976)...but started following Leah Day's free motion quilting blog as well as the project for SewCalGal....both are great and very informative. I've learned so much....mostly...practice...practice....practice.

Welcome....
Blessings.....kathymarie
