A little bit of FMQ'ing going on

If you are looking for the Ho, Ho, Ho and on We Sew February Link party you will find it here

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.

And Sew On BOM quilting

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!

  4. Do 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 :(

  7. All 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!
