Phew.... I think I'll just give up ( for now ) time for a cup of tea instead. Free motion quilting is not easy!
PS: Hi, to my newest follower's Pat, Jackie and Gene.
Quilting makes me happy!
I always find it easiest to put on so smoothing music to help me from becoming so tense. A cup of tea sounds perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You are doing a GREAT job. I find a glass of wine helps--and oddly having a movie on the telly helps slow me down.
ReplyDeleteI think you're doing a great job! I'm with Gene, I need wine! hee,hee,hee.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think you have done a fantastic job!! It gets easier with time too. Just keep at and you will be a pro, no problem!
ReplyDeleteHai Fleurette! This comment comes from Holland!
ReplyDeleteFree motion quilting isn't easy, I love it so much. My slogan is: You have to do 3 things. 1 Take a glass of liquor. 2 Do make a prayer. 3 Go!

Reading the comments above gave me a great laugh! I had no idea so many people "indulged" while free motion quilting! It's great advice, though! The reality is that you HAVE to relax. Whether it's a glass of wine, your favorite movie or music, comfortable chair and posture- whatever- you have to be in the right frame of mind. And you'll never fully relax until you've had a lot of practice. Just keep at it- you are doing GREAT! My first attempts were not that good- trust me!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, keep going...practice, practice , practice...that's all you need.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comments on my blog :) Your machinequilting is very good, keep on practicing and it will be better and better ;)
