A comment was made on another post that freemotion quilting means quilting without stencils, without patterns, without drawing on the quilt. I do longarming (new at it). I mentioned on a longarm forum that I was doing freestyling on a quilt - drawing the design on the quilt and going at it -- without a computer. They informed me that I was freemotioning. Now someone says that it's not.
Okay - you all tell me -- what is YOUR description of freemotion quilting?

I don't know the answer. I am still trying to get up the nerve to try FMQ. I have been practicing and getting a bit better. I have a question for you. Do you find it helpful to draw on the fabric? I have just been doing meandering patterns, which I like. I really don't want my stitching to be too close together, and I'm having a problem not meandering back too close to where I was. Thanks for the help!
