I know I say this a lot, but one of the best things you can do to improve your quilting is to DOODLE!
Doodling helps build the muscle memory for free motion quilting.
When you sit down at the sewing machine, you should already know each motif and be able to draw it without hesitation.
It is much much more difficult to stitch THE MOTIFS by looking at them on the computer while free motion quilting.
Buy yourself a sketchbook and a ream of typing paper and Doodle away!
If you only take one thing from The Inbox Jaunt, let it be:
“If you can doodle it, you can quilt it!”…and it’s corollary–
“If you can’t doodle it, you can’t quilt it!”
The Diva of Doodling,
