    Wonderful!!! I'm so proud of you!!! :thumbup: :D :D :D

    Whoo-hoo! The pressure is off now that you did it. Keep practicing and you'll be a pro in no time flat!

    Practice, practice, practice. The more you do the better you'll get. Once you get past the fear and just do it, the easier it'll be next time.

    I also am trying to learning FMQ. I try to follow a stippling pattern - just looking at it while I am quilting. Mine does not exactly look like stippling, but I think it looks more like meandering which I do not really know the difference between stippling and meandering. It looks OK for me. I would like to do better and hope to improve with time. - Cynthia

    I finally did one and had to rip it out twice but in the end it turned out okay.

    Can this be done with just a regular sewing maching? What kind of foot?

    The first attempt is always the hardest. It will be less intimidating from now on.
