good for you to charge in ... we have to start somewhere... and with each project, you will see improvement.... I always go back to my practice pieces to get warmed up each time.!

It was harder after I got it started I would forget which way to make the swirls LOL, when I would change to another spot because I had forgotten to keep it going in the correct way.

good job as you tackle the free motion quilting.... practicing will help to get the timing and coordination down....

Thanks I was scared to try it on a quilt but I did, it isn't perfection , but it did look great for my first time. I loved the class.

Hi - I've also taken up free motion quilting with a regular size machine. I took both of Ann Peterson's Craftsy classes and learned so much. I love the process but at my age there's no way I'm going to invest in a long arm to do it. It's definitely - the more you do it the better you get. Keep up the good work.

Good luck I tried it on a small sandwich that I made from the same material of the quilt before I started on the baby quilt.
