just keep going it takes practice, a matching thread is more forgiving visually, but if you really want to know how your doing, stay with the white thread. take a deep breath relax, remember to breath and relax while you stitch. I know when I do free motion I tense up. So every little bit I stop an check to see MY tension level.

Dave, this is free motion quilting (FMQ), not quilt as you go (QAYG).
Like the others said, it takes a lot of practice to be really good at it, but you're off to a great start! :thumbup:
A quilt instructor once told me to put the machine at half the speed and put my pedal to the metal. That works well for me, so hopefully it will help you too.
