And possibly, slow down. That was my biggest problem--once I slowed down things looked better. Of course, there is always the--put the design on paper and sew over it method.

Hmmmm....a couple of months??? How many HOURS have you actually quilted???

Why don't you try quilting something that you are really familiar with? Fill up a whole quilt sandwich (45" x 45") with your signature!
Rows and rows of your name. By the time you finish you should either be lots more comfortable with it, or get out the wallet!! :wink:

Be sure that your work space is set up properly and your machine is working well so that you aren't frustrated with mechanical issues.

Good luck!

I have been practicing, practicing and practicing for about two months now and I still can't seem to GET IT. I can do loops and spirals but everything else looks really bad.
I have some books - lots, actually but I can't seem to get my free motion quilting to look good.
Has anybody had this problem and solved it???
Maybe I should just quilt by checkbook :(
