    me neither. I am a bit sad, that I didn´t choose a nicer fabric- But when I started, it made so much fun, that I couldn´t stop ;-).

    This is your first piece??? The way it looks and the fact that you said it made so much fun that you couldn't stop, makes me think you have many happy free-motion quilting hours in your future!

    Yes it is :). Half a year ago a friend showed me how to put on the foot to my sewing mashine and I wrote one word. After that I had so much respect! But now I want to FMQ a top, so I have no chance then to practice before ;-)

    You did this on your first attempt??????? You are a natural!

  8. Nilya2011 20 months ago | reply

    Thank you so much!
    Really ;-), I tried to meander in the left corner as a first attempt, but this is not working really good, the stones/circles and letters are more easy, because I know where I have to go next. And the hockeyplayer I drew on the fabric first. Do you have a tip for the meander quilting? I cannot draw it on a whole quilt?!?

  9. Lynne @ Lilys Quilts 20 months ago | reply

    Google "meander quilting" images and find one you like then draw it on paper over and over until your hand gets the feel of how to do it then try again. Having said that, my meander quilting is not too good!

  10. Nilya2011 20 months ago | reply

    That´s a great idea to try it on paper first. Thanks!

    Your FIRST try??? Holy smoke girl! wow!

  16. Nilya2011 20 months ago | reply

    Thank you so much! But I don´t dare to do it on a big quilt. I have to try more...
    Danke, naja, schwer ist nicht das richtige Wort. Kreise sind ganz gut zu machen, meandern ging gar nicht. Man hat mir erzählt, man solle erstmal ganz viel auf dem Papier die Muster malen und dann an die Maschine, LG

    You are designer? To have one of these security already in their first job. Very cool.

    It looks really amazing - well done. I can't FMQ write or draw, but I am pretty good with the meandering/stipple. I like to move the fabric the way I write, from left to right. When I come to the other end, I turn the fabric, so that I am moving from left to right again. I would be working on an approx. 4" to 6" wide area depending on the quilt size.
