I noticed you used a dark thread....I rarely quilt with a dark as the stitches just never look good for some reason. I will usually use a smoke gray or deeper tan/taupe on dark fabrics.....it just seems to blend well. And yes, you found a secret....keep that machine clean!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736086379726452708.post-60780496026188056032014-09-30T08:10:37.254-04:002014-09-30T08:10:37.254-04:00Practicing is so important with FMQ -- hopefully I...Practicing is so important with FMQ -- hopefully I won't feel like I'm practicing forever if you know what I mean -- nice pillow covers!!Mary Hueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930632913728046516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736086379726452708.post-25084071876403343212014-09-27T16:31:03.171-04:002014-09-27T16:31:03.171-04:00You freemotion looks good!

Once there are a whole bunch of pebbles you really don't notice the wobbles or overlapping bits. I'm sure you've noticed I'm a fan of my walking foot as well :). Yay for a clean machine!canuckquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804830507722535614noreply@blogger.com
