I picked up some gardening gloves in the $ store and they have little those little vinyl bubbles on the palm side, they work great for moving the quilt squares without pulling or stretching them out of shape...just a hint sounds like you are about to be a full time quilter mcgraw...hugs x0x0x0x

OK, where do I start? Have not done any quilting yet. Only did ITH projects, i.e. eye glass cases, soft toys of Mops, tissue holders, scissor cases, etc.

You have to set your machine for free motion quilting - look in your instruction booklet - in that position the feed dogs are down and you have to move the quilt (or quilt block) around with your hands, making meandering crls. There are several nice tutorials on you tube, showing how to do it.
