FMQ progress

I can definitely see progress here.  I bought some gloves at the weekend, as several of you suggested, and I think they helped. The first photo is the front, and the second shows the back.  My stitches are beginning to be a more consistent size, shame I can't say the same about my loops!  All in all though, I'm feeling optimistic today that one day I might become almost a passable quilter.

  1. Practice makes perfect, and I think you're going great! The gloves should definitely help. Once you have it mastered, you can come give me some lessons.

  2. I read somewhere that writing your name in cursive is a great way to learn FM, Lots of loops in a name and you already have the muscle memory. Looking good!

  9. I can already see a difference and you're still only on Lesson One. Well done you :-) And well done for sticking at the first set of exercises and not moving on until you have the foundation skills.

    How's the punctured finger?
