A little more practice -
Filled up this space -
And a couple of rows on this side - before I ran out of bobbin thread and called it quits for the day - ;))
It looks OK from the back - but not that wonderful -
So it still needs work -
A LOT of work - ;))
I adjusted the height of the foot (the elastic hair band loops) -
I tried speeding up the machine - and slowing down my hands -
But my stitches got really tiny -
So I don't think that's it -
For some reason my rhythm is off -
And I'm not hearing the "hum" of the machine like I used to -
That sound the machine makes when I'm "in the zone" -
So I still have to play with it -
To figure out what's different from the last time I did some FMQ -
And what I need to change to fix it - ;))
Tomorrow I'll start over -
Wind some more bobbins -
Give it another good cleaning -
Re-thread it -
Re-check my settings -
The whole nine yards -
And then try it again -
It's not like I haven't done it before -
And that I don't know how - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Your FMQ is improving. Keep at it, it will come.
Relax. That might be what's missing! (Remember yesterday when I said my swirls got square cause I was hurrying and worrying?!) And you'll find the zone. You had it before, you'll get it again!
I wonder if you are trying too hard. If you can put on some music or a tv show that will distract the logical side of your brain, it will probably be better.
keep working at it, this looks better than the previous. And I know you can do it. (re-watching some classes may help also.)
