Only because the quilt's not finished yet, but when it is, oh boy oh boy will i be happy dancing in a big way. I'm doing stippling/meandering for the first time. I've gotten the hang of free motion quilting motifs drawn onto the quilt, but now i just wanted to see if I could handle meandering. For about 15 to 20 minutes at a time, it's great! I just have to remember to breathe. I'm doing a small hug for the lady next door whose 10 year old dd just died last month, and wanted to get this done relatively quickly. Generally speaking, I'm a hand quilter, so this would normally take me a couple of months (having a small child and a busyish social life along with homeschooling kinda cuts into the quilting time), and I really wanted her to have this sooner than that. Anyway, I just had to share with someone. Thanks for being here 24/7...LOL
