any suggestions?
#1
This is my 5th quilt. So, I am very new to quilting. I just finished the quilt top today. I found the pattern for the center square on line and then I just added borders. I'm afraid to FMQ again. I tried on one of my previous quilts and had a few puckers on the backing. I'd love to do some feathers on the blue & the tan borders. There is a long arm quilter in my area, but is that really expensive? Any suggestions on how to quilt this since it has so many borders. Hope I attached the picture correctly.

You're far braver than me. I took a FMQ class. Hated it. (My bad, I know.) I'd much rather pay a professional, just have to get the dollars saved up to do it-----oh, and actually FINISH a top to be done.
One thing at a time...........
You did a very nice job on yours. And only the 5th one???? Good!

Since I started using basting spray, I have very few puckers in the back. I use the June Tailor brand and am happy with it, but hear the 505 is great.
Check out You-Tube for video tutorials on just about any subject you can think of. It's probably more helpful than instructions from a book.
Lots of practice is the trick! :)
