Have I mentioned that I modified the foot of my Free Motion Quilting machine foot? Maybe just once or twice :)
Well, I don't know whether it is all in the mind, but suddenly the fear is gone and I have been FMQ'ing away to my heart's content.
So there has been hearts,
Holly leaves
and now stippling!
I can't claim to be a master of any of them, but I am enjoying myself all the same. I have taken the opportunity of Quiet Play's And Sew On BOM quilt to practise all sorts of weird and wonderful FMQ (to me anyway!) , and will, hopefully, be able to share them all with you soon. Forewarning though, some are definitely better than others :)
Tomorrow I am going to a full day FMQ class at my LQS, so perhaps by the end of the day I will actually know what I am doing!

ReplyDeletei think you are doing an awesome job of trying out different quilting patterns and look forward to hearing your thoughts after you take your class! Have fun!!!
ReplyDeleteDo the backs look as great as the fronts? My only FMQing efforts look kinda OK on the top, but a bunch of rubbish on the back :(
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I need to overcome my fear and do some :-)
ReplyDeleteyou certainly have caught the FMQ bug, good work

ReplyDeleteAll of your different motifs look wonderful! I was not brave enough to modify my FMQ foot! :D I was a little worried about destroying it, is the modification simple to do? I hope you enjoyed your class!
