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.
ReplyDeleteRelax. 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletekeep working at it, this looks better than the previous. And I know you can do it. (re-watching some classes may help also.)
