Some of my best efforts came from 'oops' moments. You're doing great!Kathy Crofoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531145192255431983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016091147734088610.post-16490330725829127842013-08-23T15:26:08.346-07:002013-08-23T15:26:08.346-07:00What a great start!

"Lift foot and turn" I normally become addicted to watching tutorials way before I am actually ever try anything.

Keep practicing and good luckstraythreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10428001180245934413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016091147734088610.post-25516837575239791022013-08-23T09:13:13.517-07:002013-08-23T09:13:13.517-07:00I've been quilting for almost 4 years and I am...I've been quilting for almost 4 years and I am *still* learning how to control my pedal vs quilt movement speeds!
