? About quilting stitches
#21
I really love FMQ but find it my most challenging thing to learn yet. I may do great one day but my rhythm might be off the next. A big problem seems to be staying constant with my speed & trying to avoid sudden changes in directions ending up with points.
Then there is the matter of tension. No matter how much I adjust it I end up with a color showing up when I have to use one color on top & another in the bobbin. I've learned so much from this QB though that I am determined to get better.

I have heard that even expert FMQ-ers with fancy machines sometimes have this issue. I gave up trying to get it all balanced perfectly and now use the same color top and bottom unless the rare times I use invisible in the top. Also, unless it is a wall hanging, I try and make the backing have some kind of pattern because it is much more forgiving than a solid. Plus, that dreaded "practice, practice, practice"!!!
