I feel the same way. I am afraid to try. But with all these advices, definitely I will try, some day at least, jajaja. Flower and XoXo

mary, you have great answers already, the best that I can tell you is, that you can make something special from just thread and stabilizer that is totally of your own making, an object that wasn't there before you started. Anything new is always hard to try, but I am 80 and if I can learn how to do it, so can you. Try it, you just might enjoy it. A flower for you.
Don't be intimidated by them. They are really quite easy, and right now I am stitching out another easter basket for my granddaughter, and chatting too. It just takes a lot of thread, and make sure that you have the bobbin wound with the same thread.
Mary, don't be afraid to try the FSL, it's fun to do and looks beautiful. My motto is to try everything once - if I don't like it I don't do it again, but at least I've tried. I want to learn as much as I can while on this earth - and I so enjoy learning!!! I've had some disasters, for sure, but the successes far outweigh them. Hugs and flowers to you, and enjoy learning how to make FSL.
Thread, lots of thread and heavy water soluable stabilizer.
