mum and dad arrived home from their cruise on friday so I got mum to help me set up her machine and had a bit of a go at free motion quilting !
Nicky at mrs sew and sow has been encouraging me to have a try and although I've read quite a bit about it I hadn't actually tried - I've realised that when I doodle I seem to do loops so that's what I've done in the sample - I also tried to do stipple quilting but I'll need way more practice for that and I tried some name writing with varying degrees of success - although for a first go I'm pretty happy :)
Mum and I have both signed up for a machine quilting class through craftsy so hopefully I'll learn some things there and I'll be free motion quilting before I know it !
Brilliant - glad you had a go! It does seem like you love loops - those big loops bottom right look perfect to me! Keep on practicing and it's true you will be FMQ ing before you know it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have at least half as much fun as I have with free motion machine quilting. You will be amazed at how fast you will master it. Have a wonderful time learning.
