@Beth: My sister said the same thing, but after her second project she became quite good.

What a great idea to have Leah every month! Please ask her for tips on getting the top and bottom threads in balance. Tension aside, should they match in weight? Or the bobbin thread be a little lighter? I hope she will talk about supplies such as needles, batting and basting ! No wonder she will be on every month, there is so much info to cover.

Sound like a fantastic show. I really need to just be brave and start FMQ. I will never have any skill just thinking about doing it.
