I used 0 for stitch per a recommendation. Not sure if that is what I should have used but it looks good.

What a good idea...I am going to pick some up tomorrow.
Do you have a pair of gardening gloves, with the little grippy thingies on them. Those work well too! I use those myself.

Didn't read all of the posts...... so I guess you have at least 2 of us that are 'cheap'!

I read on one blog that the woman keep the dog feeds up and used 0 stitch length....so I did that on this quilt. I have Zero experience on FMQ but it come out pretty good for my first time, it took 4 hours but that is with stopping a bunch of times, eating lunch, changing bobbins and of course computer time....
