I think you did very well and it will get better with practice. One thing I learned was to practice with a pencil on paper to get the flow and pattern in your head, makes it easier to do on the machine so you don't have to unsew any stitches! I get going sometimes, and my tongue gets all twisted! Any pattern stitch your brain tells you to do works! Myself, I like hearts, then if want to or need to cross lines, it looks like it belongs there!<br />Take care, LeslieLesQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08133424132943634799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377986553335071278.post-18728401906330639702011-12-11T23:45:46.307+11:002011-12-11T23:45:46.307+11:00It looks great!

If you don't like gloves (or the velcro dots!) then try two squares of rubber matting (the stuff that you get to put under microwaves to stop them slipping and in your kitchen cupboards to protect crockery) - works wonders!Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377986553335071278.post-21740149786328984562011-12-11T20:44:39.071+11:002011-12-11T20:44:39.071+11:00Thanks Everyone for your tips about the gloves.

I can't wear latex and I ride horses and for about $6 a pair at a saddlery the jockey gloves with their little rubber dots on the palms do a great job for quilting. I found they are cooler to wear in summer than the heavier quilting gloves. Even the black gloves don't leave marks on the fabric.<br />Cheers,<br />RobynRobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377986553335071278.post-40559981162186135742011-12-11T15:18:36.005+11:002011-12-11T15:18:36.005+11:00Looks fantastic Joanne,at least you've given f...Looks fantastic Joanne,at least you've given free motion quilting a go :) Barb.barb's creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425588296349592091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377986553335071278.post-828616883313833762011-12-11T14:42:39.562+11:002011-12-11T14:42:39.562+11:00Well done, Joanne! it looks great.

As togloves, I started out with proper ones, but now prefer using disposable latex gloves - buy a box from the supermarket. They fit so well, and you can feel the fabric better I got that tip from a long time quilter!Lindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414741867631631571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377986553335071278.post-18318016976681651312011-12-11T14:36:25.367+11:002011-12-11T14:36:25.367+11:00It looks great.
