I practiced last year and got okay with it, didn't do any for a year and when I tried again last month, I was back to square one. But I'd love to be proficient at it. I will follow you and thanks already for some good tips...the panel idea for one.

I am glad to have moved you to the edge and into this space:) Check out my board on Pinterest for fmq videos,too. <br />I agree with Dana about your triangles and the papers.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082844959893260314.post-51831423343699923342016-11-16T06:10:22.425-06:002016-11-16T06:10:22.425-06:00I knew you used that Triangluations paper, but see...I knew you used that Triangluations paper, but seeing it like that makes me want to take another look, I really dislike drawing lines on my fabric.

Even though it's not my favorite, it really helped me to learn scale and smooth curves. I used scrap fabric - I don't think I made anything for use until month 4 or 5! Good Luck - I'll be enjoying your journey. ~JeanneRay and Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016180736310628859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082844959893260314.post-40311857259521154432016-11-15T21:55:46.969-06:002016-11-15T21:55:46.969-06:00Leah Day has a lot of tutorials and U-tube stuff f...Leah Day has a lot of tutorials and U-tube stuff for FMQ that I think would help you - I started with her years ago, and with panels instead of the little 'sandwich'. I have tons of panels and they are on next years to-do list to clear them out.
