    I'm having to practice on my actual quilts because I have so many people asking for them. I recently did meandering on a Batman baby quilt. I just picture a puzzle in front of me and go to town. It is a lot easier than I expected too, but I'm taking a class in making feathers on Craftsy soon. It's fun to keep trying new things! Enjoy!!

    Understanding that everyone says practice, practice, practice, it really doesn't take long to see improvement from the first time to the second and third and on and on. The more you do it the more you relax and enjoy. You did good!

    that's the best way to learn, by practicing.
    And you can see how fast the progress can be.
    I love quilting on the machine!

    Practise a little every day. You also need if going to FMQ for a longtime make sure you have the correct seating position. If you are stiff or ache next day please find out why.
