It's a meditation for me. But I'm mighty impressed with your efforts here!barbara l. halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251598050638810751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023611014658518661.post-74252712902014485082013-04-28T16:32:33.470-07:002013-04-28T16:32:33.470-07:00Look at you go...

I would like to get good at doing free motion quilting, too. I tried with my old Singer...couldn't even drop the feed dogs on that one...and managed to do a couple of simple quilts with it, but the thread broke constantly. Then I got a new machine so I could learn to do free motion and it is terrible for doing it. I can't get the tension on it right. I love it otherwise, but have ended up just not even trying the free motion any more. I even took a class with a teacher hoping she could get the tension set and help me. I need to practice and keep trying. I think unless I get a different machine, my chances of learning just aren't good and I can't afford a different machine right now. I may try buying a cheap machine that I can take to classes and hope that it is good for free motion. Will test it first to know for sure! See you soon! We leave tomorrow for Tucson!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552777489399984385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023611014658518661.post-84989181610587077432013-04-13T20:13:31.458-07:002013-04-13T20:13:31.458-07:00Oh, Marie, there are good days, there are bad days...Oh, Marie, there are good days, there are bad days, and some really bad days for me...I sometimes wonder if I will ever get really good at FMQing...but I love trying. Most of the time. I think you did pretty darn good here. The extra harp area of my Juki made all the difference to me in even wanting to attempt it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832295732819342873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023611014658518661.post-20781227528471608522013-04-13T00:22:49.119-07:002013-04-13T00:22:49.119-07:00That is very interesting.

She just does it to do it...she doesn't call it anything or even follow any kind of pattern. It's just how she started using the sewing machine.aspiritofsimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870339828098281415noreply@blogger.com
