    Default FMQ - I'm getting better
    I swore off FMQ because I had so many problems trying to get it to work. With my new sewing machine, I have discovered that I am actually not too bad at it!!!

    Here's a pic of the back of my quilt - just one of the blocks - I'm pretty impressed with myself!

    So, for those of you who think you can't do it ... trust me, you can! I tried for 10 years to get the hang of it!

    Very pretty Marion. The quilting looks great and that fabric is sweet.

    Great. Sometimes it takes a different machine.

    Very nice indeed! I am no expert at it, but I really enjoy it. I can only get better, right?

    Marion, that's lovely! I'm still struggling but refuse to quit!
    I also bought a new machine and it's helped me a lot.
