    Default FMQ grammar

    What is the past tense of FMQ? Is it FMQd? Is FMQing the correct present tense?

    I'm getting punchy. bedtime.

    Not a clue, waited up for the DD and I just realized I am too tired to place an order.

    If you aren't sure, spell it out. Quilting is the main word, Free Motion is descriptive.
    FM quilted, quilting, etc.
    Most quilters would understand almost any abbreviation.

    I use FMQing often, but didn't think about using the past tense! I'd use FMQed. And I'm not even punchy!

    Was FMQing as an action word. FMQed as in " it was free motioned quilted" as a descriptive word. Trying to remember how I taught this for 15 semesters to my ESL students.

    Yesterday I finished a fmq. I fmqed each area differently, and I used a bobbin which contrasted with the backing so all my fmqing would show up!FMQ grammar-happy-christmas-back-resized.jpgFMQ grammar-happy-christmas-front-1-resized.jpg
