    Default tracing paper

    Today I went to a quilting shop near my home(West Chester) and I bought some tracing paper and gloves. I am wondering is there any website or books that I can trace so that I can FMG. I also was on a Website that has embroidery designs that are like FMG. I just finished a table runner that I used an embroidery design in the middle.

    Grace, check out Patsy Thompson http://www.patsythompsondesigns.com/free-downloads/
    She has a bunch of free downloads that you can print out and practice your hand movements for FMQ. Maybe, just Maybe these will help you - I would also suggest strongly that you get a dry erase board and washable markers and practice these designs over and over until you are comfortable with the movements. Patsy gives many different patterns.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
