  1. Awesome tutorial!! I've been wanting to do some holly and ivy FMQ'ing on a Christmas quilt top that's been sitting around for 6 months, and following those directions, I think I can actually do it! :)

  2. Thanks Melissa for showing this! I have bought a new machine recently and will do my first machine quilting soon. It might take some practice, but it will be a lot quicker than my handquilting!

  5. I want to do this! But I am so scared! You should quilt my top for me ;) I don't feel confident in my artistic free motion skills, so I am boring and meander everything! But I have been yearning to holly and ivy a quilt I have sitting in my "to quilt" box!
