Practice, Practice, Practice

Don't think that this is a fancy quilt top. It's just a piece of Christmas cheater cloth that I am practicing my free motion stitching on. Meandering is coming easier now, so my next practice piece may be a real quilt!

    That's a great way to practice. I did the same when I started.

    We all need to start somewhere. My hat is off to you for trying the free motion. I have not gotten that brave yet!

    Love practice cloths! We did a lot of charity quilts a couple of years ago, and I used them for practice on my free motion. Can't say that I improved very much, but it was good for practicing.

    It sounds like you're getting more confidence building sessions in, you are going great guns.
