    Well, I'm just now getting ready to start practicing. Other than the Free Motion attachment for my machine, I found quickly I needed a pair of those gloves with the little rubbery dots on them. ha. You cannot MOVE that fabric under the needle without something to grip it. I guess I'll be just like you - Practice, Practice, Practice going around and up and down and meandering all over the place. We'll check on each other later and see HOW we're doing. lol

    Patience and the willing to practice, practice, practice, and more patience. It has taken me about 1 yr to feel somewhat comfortable with the process and the outcome. Enjoy.

    Me too; I worked on practice pieces and then graduated to small projects like placemats, wallets, and cosmetic bags for a good year before I even tried an actual quilt. My best advice it to EXPECT a long learning curve. Your first attempts won't meet your expectations; keep practicing and learn to enjoy the process along the way!

    I am just learning to quilt and I find that videos help me a lot. Can someone tell me the best ones and where to find them?
