I have just started FMQ. My quilting looks like I have paulsy( shaking). I haven't figured out how to hold the fabric steady when I move my hands. It looks OK after it's been washed, but looks jerky. I am working on the skill builder sheets I just ordered. They are slowly building my confidence. Hopefully after I complete both skill builder sheets, It will start to look a little better. Practice, practice, practice.

I am learning too. I admit though-it has helped me to draw myself a basic pattern with a washable pen. I don't follow it to the tee-- but it helps me with the direction and where I am headed. I can then concentrate on flow and relaxing without trying to concentrate on where I am headed :) I have progressed to small projects. Much more fun to practice on something small besides fabric sandwiches hehe.
