I am a beginner quilter but wanted to learn FMQ so I used Leah Days tutorials, used information from an excellent FMQ book Heirloom Quilting. The information I got from this book I think helped me the most. I also practice as much as I can. I also make Muslim practice squares with scrape leftover batting and date my squares to see if I am improving. This weekend I stippled my first project and while it does have mistakes it came out ok for my first time but I think practice and proper tools are key.
