I've dabbled very little with FMQ and have poor results to show for it. But with your instructions and encouragement I hope to be at least half proficient.<br /><br />I have a Brother machine that has a speed slider. I can disengage my foot pedal and only press a button to start sewing. It will go at the speed that you have set on the slider. So my question is if I can figure out a good balance of speed on the slider then I could only focus on my hand movements, won't that be half the battle won?Barbara Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753143340104041588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-61904549047262576982012-01-03T08:50:09.897-05:002012-01-03T08:50:09.897-05:00I have not yet taken the FMQ jump yet.

Not dropping the feed dogs has made so many of my tension problems go away. Thanks for the tips!<br /><br />The problem I'm having now is that the thread from the top is only catching the thread from the bobbin about 50% of the time and I'm having to go back over and over. Hopefully with more practice I'll figure out what to do about that.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873866161092464816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-11974238775880661682012-01-02T19:03:43.931-05:002012-01-02T19:03:43.931-05:00My goal of 2012 is to learn FMQ!

I have made a lot of potholders and other small projects before getting the courage to tackle large quilts. I have to admit that I am addicted to stippling. It works for me. This year I will try to move out of my safe zone. Thanks again.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784756194559052048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-29129071495793699522012-01-02T10:34:40.330-05:002012-01-02T10:34:40.330-05:00Great information - Thanks!
