Today I took the plunge and tried free motion quilting. I have had the foot for a while. So I got a scrap block and practiced.
Can anyone who quilts with a machine suggest why I am getting a little loopy on the back. Is my tension to tight or loose? It was hard trying to keep the fabric moving.
I also did this postcard.
My oldest son Tyler wanted to make a postcard. So he went through my scraps and sewed these pieces together. Not too bad. I did the rest of the work for him.
I was searching for a binding tutorial for a friend and came across this free motion quilting tutorial and thought it was worth sharing.

I have yet to try free motion quilting. I guess I am worried that I will really suck at it. LOL. Most of my quilts get straight line quilted with my walking foot. It is safe I know.
Today is the last day to leave a comment and try to win this great fat quarter.
I will announce the winner tomorrow. Good luck and happy blogging.
