    I just remembered I had a slider too so I've put it on the machine. Moving the quilt was a lot harder than I thought it would be so hopefully that will help.

    Great job. I've been FMQing for 6 years and my stitches still aren't all the same size!

    After talking hubby into me buying a new machine and the cabinet with the extension off the back I figured I'd better start using it. LOL!!

    You know...that's what makes a handmade quilt special. Don't want it to look like it's come off an assembly line.
