Rhonda, let me know how you do with this! I have started marking a top with baptist fan pattern, and it is taking me forever! The top is a large twin size....I don't want to wrangle it through my machine with the walking foot, so I hope to FMQ it....if I ever finish marking it!

Jan, thanks so much for sharing from your vast experience! You are such a great resource!

Fatquarters, THANK YOU for mentioning the 31 days of walking foot designs. I've not seen this before, lots to explore here.

Also, check out Craftsy quilting class by Jacquie Gering, Creative Quilting with Your Walking Foot. It's an excellent class! I learned a lot.

I did the Baptist Fan pattern with my DM on a double bed size quilt. It can be done although you have to quilt a little slower, and you have to have enough space on the left of your machine for your quilt to rest on. I use a folding table. I have also done a queen size quilt with another pattern on my DM.

I love the look of it so good luck, I haven't tried it.

I used to be afraid of FMQ and looked for ways to avoid it and yet get some interesting things in my quilts. I drew designs on light weight paper that came on a roll that I got at an office supply store. I pinned it to the quilt and sewed slowly. It took lots of manipulation with keeping the needle down and lifting the presser foot frequently. It worked quite well but was labor intensive. I was determined to learn to do it FMQ-and I did!

Geez I wasn't sure what you were talking about. I had to google it. It looks so cool but it has many directional changes. Would like to see your end result.
