I have been making quilts for about 20 years but have only recently yearned to perfect my free motion quilting. Leah Day's tutorials have been really fantastic; are so easy to follow, but the only answer to mastering this wonderful art is practice, practice and more practice..... and then to practice some more!
This is an excellent way of practicing the pattern first. I did a few pages like this!
This is the front of my practice piece in green on a quilt sandwich.
And this is the back in a pink colour. It's good to use a different colour in the bobbin to get your top tension correct.
This is my final FMQ done on my quilt top! Not too bad I think. I'm quite happy seeing that it is the first month. Hopefully by the end of the year and with much more practicing, I will improve.
Here is a close up view.
Thank you for having a quick lookie. You are welcome to leave a remark!
You are already a great FMquilter - fun to join the challenge :-)
