    Free motion embroidery? What exactly is that?

    I'm glad you had the courage to try it. Peggy
    In your search bar type in free motion machine embroidery....lots of links are listed. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from watching the videos on You Tube. Patsy Thompson (I hope I spelled that right) has some wonderful tutorial videos, another person who does some fantastic projects is Terry White. Recently I discovered on The Quilt Show site a woman, Nancy Prince...she also shares some great videos and tutorials. Plus, I just randomly selected various sites that contained the phrase and learned some interesting helpful tips. I hope that this helps.

    Free Motion Machine Embroidery is also referred to as Thread Painting. You drop your feed dogs, put your stitch length to Zero and you begin coloring/painting/stitching a picture. You can also use the zig zag stitch. It is similiar to free motion quilting.
