Of course I may try FMQ once I get the foot my machine requires for it. <br />Have a relaxing long weekend.<br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999097330359965266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-75577027050424548302014-05-29T09:36:33.465+12:002014-05-29T09:36:33.465+12:00thanx for popping by.

I always start with big aspirations about how I would like to do the quilting but end up most times stippling. However this time I am firm in my resolve to try something different. I have seen quilting done by Judi Madsen on her blog called Green Fairy quilts. She does a lot of ruler and grid work. She also happens to do it on a long arm machine which sadly I do not have. Anyway I am going to try and do a simplified version on my sit down domestic machine. I think it is worth persevering with FMQ. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-81618850761522515012014-05-28T22:22:49.001+12:002014-05-28T22:22:49.001+12:00Keep going!!

Having said all that - I just posted tonight that I've lost my FMQ-jo a bit...... my bigger quilts are just getting too hard to do and killing my body, so I'm sticking to FMQ with small quilts and cushions :) MsMidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165622200849937469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677609960973877465.post-81693379099759032972014-05-26T07:53:06.638+12:002014-05-26T07:53:06.638+12:00thanx for stopping by!

I feel pretty much the same about free motion as I do about hand quilting-- I love the way it looks, but I just don't like doing it, whereas quilting with the walking foot/dual feed I don't mind at allRobynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820223028251614341noreply@blogger.com
