What should my FMQ look like?
Comments (9)Feathers like this are drawn on. I used a very fine mechanical pencil. It's typical to find yourself resisting the movement necessary for FM quilting. We are taught that we should never, ever move against the feeddogs, and especially not side to side and it takes a while to break through that. Try this: Make a practice sandwich and make big zig zags. Start with up and down ones--that's more natural movement to make at the machine. When you are comfortable with that, switch to side to side zig zags. Now slow down your hands to shorten your stitch length and begin rounding off the points as you make them. Keep making the points broader and pretty soon you'll be meandering. Annie...See MoreNot liking my subway tile backplash. Should I start over?
Comments (13)Schnauzer, My husband said that the the tile guy just put up the tiles as he went. As far as the grout goes, I know it was a Laticrete color, but I don't remember what one. As I am writing this to you my husband is installing our kitchen backsplash. It is a handmade bone crackle tile. It is even more handmade looking than the Florida tile. I think you will love your tile when it is grouted. The handmade tiles have so much character. I will post a pic later tonight....See MoreWhat should the front of my house look like?
