Talking Week #8: What scares me!

I'll start with what used to scare me, but I now feel

more comfortable with . . .

Curved piecing.

I couldn't imagine being able to figure it out,

or do it well.

And as we all know . . .

It's all about the practicing.

And for me 8 million pins.

I am now pretty confident with the curves,

that is not to say that I don't still have times

of ripping and uttering some sailorly words!

My current fear is free motion quilting.

I have taken some classes, and at one time

I thought I was getting there . . .

Excuse the photo, hard to see, but my free motion quilting

is erratic, jerky, uneven, and just not pretty.

I know I need to practice it every day,

but I don't.

I am intimidated by it.

I can't seem to get the right motion and speed going.

Any suggestions? Any hints? Any teachers???

I need help!

So I continue to use a walking foot to do straight line quilting.

HELP ME!!!
